Battlefields of the future could enable armies to respond quickly to threats by ‘growing’ unmanned aircraft in the field, so in a futuristic vision of warfare, British defence firm BAE Systems has described its plans for a radical new concept for developing new prototypes of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
During this century, scientists and engineers from BAE Systems and the University of Glasgow envisage that small Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) bespoke to military operations, could be 'grown' in large-scale labs through chemistry, named "the Chemputer", its developers claim the concept could provide a significant advantage by slashing production times speeding up evolutionary processes from years to just a matter of weeks.
According to the firm, advanced chemical engineering processes would see small-scale UAVs produced in vats, which could rapidly speed up the time it takes for components to form.
Visualising the Chemputer shows vats of blue liquid in which parts are grown from crude materials, before the finished product – a complex drone – emerges at the end of the cycle on a production line.
Details of the concept are minimal, with little in existence to compare the concept with, but it would effectively take rapid prototyping of 3D printing to a new level, with BAE claiming it could speed up 'evolutionary processes and chemical reactions'.
