Quadrocopters turn into pixels at the voestalpine Klangwolke and form 3D-Modells in the sky. As a world-premiere, the Ars Electronica Futurelab has managed to fly a formation outdoor with so many quadrocopters, painting some moments of magic into the nightsky of Linz.

KEYWORDS: asymetricwar; drone; terrorist; uav
This colorful, artistic flock of mini-helicopter drone UAVs capable of coordinated flight patterns demonstrates possible asymmetric warfare capabilities.
Terrorists or special operators could used the capabilities demonstrated in this video to achieve anti-personnel attacks as in "The Birds" or to "mine" airfield runways to simulate "bird strike" jetliner crashes only using flocks of drones instead of flocks of birds. See runwaykillzone.com for more information on this attack vector.

Next up, full orchestra version of Wagner's 'Ride of the Valkyries Ah yes, the Valkyries. In old Norse mythology "the chooser of the slain". Obama is the Valkyrie today. He chooses who gets "slain".
