Flying Spy Bots

The US military wants to shoot off loads of flying, spying robots using missiles to make for faster sureillance and aerial attack. The first time for military: unmanned, long-range, ultra-high speed surveillance. The military refrained from building global strike missles due to similiarity of an atomic attacker which may trigger another world war. Drones coming from missles may give a larger geographic range for surveillance, while analyzing their own video. However, analysts are not equipped to cope with loads of data and parse them in real time.
