The military tested this skimmer in a series of tests last month in Fort Benning along with representatives of the British Army

The U.S. military is considering the use of the tiny skimmer made by Rafael Spike-Firefly. The Rafael company announced last week that this skimmer was among those tested by the U.S. military as part of a military test exercise conducted by the military last month in Fort Benning, Georgia. The website Breakindefense.com reports that the military is currently analyzing the glider's performance and is expected to soon decide whether to purchase it.

It seems that the US Army is not the only one interested in this glider. Raphael's announcement indicates that soldiers from the British Army's Household Cavalry Regiment also took part in the glider's assessment at Fort Benning and according to a senior British officer the British Army can certainly imagine scenarios where the Firefly and other robotic solutions can save lives.
