WASHINGTON — The Army’s future front-line fighters could one day find a new use for their grenade-launchers — shooting tiny camera-drones into the sky to scope out unseen enemy threats.
Army Research Lab scientists at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland are developing the micro-drones the same size as the Army’s 40 mm grenade, which are meant to be fired by the service’s standard M203 grenade launchers, service officials said Thursday. They have dubbed the new drones Grenade Launched Unmanned Aerial Systems, or GLUAS.
