MIT already cracked this one with an airplane, which is much harder than a quadrotor. Porting the code to a quadrotor should be trivial. Air Force, please keep up with the forums, you can save taxpayer money! Wanna buy a $1200 screwdriver?

Good catch, David! I see both Navy and Army credits near the end. Makes me wonder if the Air Force is still as messed up as was depicted in the documentary "No Time for Sergeants" The original "Operation Prometheus"!

Very cool!
ecro, did you catch that the MIT research was funded by the Navy? I'm sure the Air force guys hate that more than just missing the video.
