The US Air Force has just awarded a grant to military contractor Triton Systems to develop a "Lethal Frisbee UAV," which can be launched from a device like a skeet launcher and operated by remote control or autonomously.
These disks, known as "Modular Disc-Wing Urban Cruise Munitions," can be armed with a series of MEFP (Multiple Explosively Formed Penetrator) armor-piercing explosives capable of firing a single large fragment for bunker busting or spraying an area with smaller jets of molten metal for the decimation of unprotected infantry or light utility vehicles.
And each one comes with a warning sticker: "Not to be used for playing 'catch' with your dog."
