Lightweight processor board with USB bus, so all the existing linux flight and image processing software is available, with hardware. Off the shelf, commercial grade, works fine.
Drones can go as high as 6,000 feet and remain low cost. Their ability to swarm at 100 MPH beats human combat at 400 MPH, because of swarming at low cost. Digital inertial, GPS, off the shelf software. A team of ten, one or two in vision, they can chase shiny objects at some predesignated vector. We will never get human pilots close to battle again. Linux software duplicates 95% of their function in the cockpit, and they can always fly from ground control.
The NSA is stuck, it needs provable processors, processors sharing a secret keys with the foundry. That is Secure ID, no doubt about it.
Linux can obey flying rules, honestly with Smart iD. even the complex, like announced keep out zones for stadium events. Otherwise quite obedient, as witnessed by flight simulator software.
