China Launched 'SPY Bird' Drone To Strengthen Its Surveillance Activities- Details, Features, Purpose
According to the report, China has launched flocks of robotic birds called as 'Spy Bird' drones that are equipped with high-tech surveillance technology,
The "Spy Bird" programme, was first in operation in at least five provinces and provides another tendril in the country's already advanced surveillance network.
The "Spy Bird" are dove-like drones are being developed by researchers at Northwestern Polytechnical University in the Shaanxi province, who have previously worked on stealth fighter jets used by China's Airforce.
Each "Spy Bird" robotic bird is equipped with GPS technology, a high-definition camera, and a flight control system that links up with satellites to allow remote control.
The 'Spy Bird' drones also make use of a small electric motor to power flapping wings, which livestock on the ground reportedly cannot distinguish from a real bird.
Earlier, China has launched tested a fleet of drone ships, capable of forming a "shark swarm" against enemy vessels.
