The Daily Mail reports that the Pentagon is actively developing a new "weapon of mass destruction" that will involve hundreds or even thousands of drones, all working together to cut through enemy defenses.

These drones could attack by land, sea, and air at the same time. However, some experts are concerned that military personnel might lose control of the drones they use as a weapon.

This top-secret program known as AMASS (Autonomous Multi-Domain Adaptive Swarms-of-Swarms) could escalate the use of automated drones in warfare. It is something that the world has not seen much of before, but it might be the latest front in how modern wars are waged. We should brace ourselves for the reality that we will likely deal with these weapons in the future.

According to the Daily Mail, the idea behind this project is that thousands of small drones would be equipped with navigational equipment and weapons that could be deployed on demand. It would make it possible to attack enemy defenses from every angle simultaneously. This could enable them to disable enemies more quickly than they otherwise would.

Zachary Kallenborn, a policy fellow at George Mason University in Virginia, stated: "As the swarm grows in size, it'll become virtually impossible for humans to manage the decisions."

This is undoubtedly one of the concerns related to this project. Some are worried that things could get out of hand and that some might not be able to control the drones used for a weapon like this. As such, it might be necessary to think through a project like this more entirely before it is put out on the battlefield.

The Daily Mail reports that the US military has been using crewless vehicles on the battlefield since 2001, but this would significantly change how wars are fought. A considerable amount of technology might be used on the battlefield if these drone strike teams are to be used.
