Hovering: Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) are the future of the unmanned drones program, according to a new video from the Air Force. The Air Force has already developed a drone capable of hovering like a moth

Crawling: The drones will be equipped with legs so that they can crawl through tight spaces like an insect

The U.S. Air Force is developing tiny  unmanned drones that will fly in swarms, hover like bees, crawl like spiders and  even sneak up on unsuspecting targets and execute them with lethal precision.

The Air Vehicles Directorate, a research arm  of the Air Force, has released a computer-animated video outlining the the  future capabilities of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs). The project promises to  revolutionize war by down-sizing the combatants.

'MAVs will become a vital element in the  ever-changing war-fighting environment and will help ensure success on the  battlefield of the future,' the narrator intones.

'Unobtrusive, pervasive, lethal - Micro Air  Vehicles, enhancing the capabilities of the future war fighter.'
