Military sees a bright future with roboflies

Introduction:

US army has for long been researching the development of robotic flies that would be mechanically controlled via ultrasonic motors of the size of about three millimetres. It is said to have only three to five centimetres long wings made of lead zirconium titanate, a material that can create electric charge under an applied voltage or electric field. The wings would bend and flap when voltage is applied to the material. However, there is only a probability as of now that this thing could actually fly but the real confirmation would come only when the other drawbacks could be handled.

For:

1. These tiny mechanical flying robots would be ideal for spying into an enemy operation centre. The army would be able to anticipate the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and accordingly plan their strategies. These spying roboflies would make it an easy win game for American army

2. These roboflies would be of great help to the American army in fighting the war against terrorism where they would be able to determine more closely the concentration of terror groups in an area with or without the innocent civilians. There is no denying that the rising enthusiasm amongst youths joining ISIS and other terror groups is vengeance for innocents killed in the war against terrorism. We can all but hope that this would change the war scenario into a fair fight.

3. There could be easy access to the locations of the terror groups that America has long been in a troubled status with. These tiny flying spies could easily trespass into enemy areas and trace the hidden locations of suspect to seek hostages and captives that these terror groups abduct more than often. This device if developed as per anticipation would be the greatest of army weapons to be invented ever - a far more advanced version of a spy cam.

4. A spy cam of such small length would neither be traceable nor easily visible to naked human eyes. It will utilize artificial intelligence to determine balance and invisibility from bright caught. This will make it the best of surveillance device ever crafted in such a small length. It would be able to fly on it's own hence avoiding risks taken by army officials during the surveillance of enemy operation centre.

5. Owing to their small size these roboflies would be able to invade through narrow spaces and even hide into the least of space available to keep away from enemy eyes. The smaller the spy device the better it gets for those handling it. A fully developed robofly would indeed be the best of spying device ever invented.

Against:

1. This spying device would be far more advanced as any other device ever accessed and if it goes into wrong hands like the probability of being caught by the enemies, the outcome could be adverse. The enemies would be able to replicate the device and use it against the country that designed it or against the other countries of it's target.

2. There have been reports before that these spy like insects were used during election protests and the government was using it to track the people involved in the protest. This could put the lives of common citizens in danger as they would be suspected and tracked without any fault of their own.

3. The smaller the gadget the more are the chances of encountering errors and challenges during its development. PiezoMEMS team also stated that it might take another ten to fifteen years of research and development to make these roboflies completely functional. There are intricate aerodynamic problems that the makers of this device is presently facing.

4. The object of surveillance could be common people that would become suspects within minutes and their privacy could be mishandled. There might also be controversies from friendly nations with reports of being spied by these roboflies. It would be challenging to maintain peace and harmony with the other countries that would be under the fear of being spied by these robots.

5. The small size of the roboflies could also be a problem when its accuracy would be judged. The cam size would be small too and the clarity of images captured by the flies might not be good enough and could lead to misinterpretation of data collected by them. Wrong information is more dangerous than no information at all.

Conclusion:

With acute security precautions and after compete consideration of the pros and cons, this device could promise a brighter future to US army. In years to come it would open new spheres in making wars less bloody and fairer if not misused or misguided with evil notions of conquering everything accessible.
