A Defense agency is working on a surveillance robotic hawk that could fly through an urban combat jungle at 100 mph . The study is looking at developing new algorithms to allow a small UAV to operate without a remote pilot . Picking through the rubble of war-damaged buildings in combat zones , looking for enemies , survivors , booby traps or worse is one of the most dangerous jobs in the military . The algorithms developed in the program could have other unmanned applications , including marine surveillance .
