'A waste of cardboard toys!' Foreign media calls Amazon drone delivery a joke
'A waste of cardboard toys!' Foreign media calls Amazon drone delivery a joke
On November 7, the American technology website "Business Insider" published an article saying: "So far, Amazon's drone delivery is a joke"
According to reports, Amazon’s drone delivery has begun pilots in American communities, including Texas and California. However, unlike the scenario envisioned by technology companies 10 years ago, achieving scale will take a long time
According to reports, each Amazon drone can only carry one item for delivery at a time. The weight of the item cannot exceed 5 pounds (about 2.27 kilograms), and there are also restrictions on size and texture. Additionally, drones cannot operate in bad weather. Av Zammit, a spokesman for Amazon, said that currently the company's drone delivery project only operates in clear weather. However, the new drone MK30 will be put into use next year and is said to be able to fly in light rain, high and low temperatures
The report also pointed out that Amazon’s drones have limitations in their transportation capabilities, and sometimes small items like peanut butter can only be packed in boxes the size of shoeboxes. Some customers have questioned its practicality, with one saying "the drone is more like a toy and wastes a lot of paper and cardboard."

Abstract: Swarming is a disruptive, game-changing technology that involves the collaborative deployment of multiple unmanned systems in multiple domains (land, sea, air, space). Developments in new microelectronics, guidance, navigation, sensors and artificial intelligence technologies enable low-cost micro-drones to perform challenging missions. When combined with novel decision-making processes, target tracking, communications technologies and algorithms, swarms can have a huge impact on the battlefield. It can also be used to provide continuous and undetectable surveillance capabilities as well as critical defense capabilities, such as intercepting cruise missiles. This article describes European research activities in the field of swarming and delves into the significant implications it may have for defence.
