Unmanned unit tested for psychological war

Unmanned unit tested for psychological war: "Most of the methods currently used in psychological warfare have been brought together in an unmanned system developed by Boeing and demonstrated for the U.S. Army at Fort Bragg, N.C.
Psychological operations are crucial to wartime missions for combatant commands, but until recently such measures involved different approaches and comprised varying elements, from dropping conventional leaflets in battle zones to using audiovisual effects.
The system is also equally effective in civilian scenarios such as crowd control.
