Unmaned Drones

Australian IT has an article about the U.S. military's projects for the future --
Navy Drones on About Unmanned Subs. Proud of the work of UUV in Afghanistan, they want to develop 'Mission Reconfigurable' for underwater drones that seek mines. See this related thread.

On a similar note, Wired had an article a few days ago about Filming the Seas' Great Depths. It talks about the probe that was in Titanic, and the company that developed it. They look into the problems encountered when building such a robot, and discuss the business of such technology.

Finally, there was a story on the NY Times that looked into Boeing's approach to unmaned to commercial aircrafts.
The Pilot, Gone. The Market, Huge. It looks into the motivations and business of such technology, and how Boeing almost missed out at first!
