DARPA has recently proposed a new type of unmanned drone that has been called the "Vampire" drone. The concept is for the drone to disappear after delivering its supplies or within 30 minutes of twilight. It's pretty interesting that DARPA mentions it doesn't just want the drone to be camouflaged but for it to actually disappear, like it was never there. The project has been named ICARUS (Inbound, Controlled, Air-Releasable, Unrecoverable Systems) and has a budget of $8 million. It seems like a really cool concept to make something just disappear after its use has been served so that there doesn't need to be the worry about disposal.
