Army Wants Tiny Suicidal Drone to Kill From 6 Miles Away...

http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/09/suicidal-drone-6-miles-away/

"The Army wants to know how prepared its defense-industry partners are to build what it calls a “Lethal Miniature Aerial Munition System.” It’s for when the Army needs someone dead from up to six miles away in 30 minutes or less"

"How small will the new mini-drone be? The Army’s less concerned about size than it is about the drone’s weight, according to a recent pre-solicitation for businesses potentially interested in building the thing. The whole system — drone, warhead and launch device — has to weigh under five pounds. An operator should be able to carry the future Lethal Miniature Aerial Munition System, already given the acronym LMAMS in a backpack and be able to set it up to fly within two minutes."

This led me to remember one of Indy's posts about attaching micro munitions/drones to the ARGUS or BIB re: extended hover time/range.
