A pesar de sus reducidas dimensiones, presentan una configuraci\u00f3n modular que permite diferentes opciones de empleo. Su principal funci\u00f3n es realizar misiones de reconocimiento e identificaci\u00f3n de veh\u00edculos o tropas en el terreno, pudiendo llevar asimismo, cargas letales explosivas para ataques directos a objetivos puntuales. Pueden ser desplegados de forma secuencial o varias unidades simult\u00e1neamente, control\u00e1ndolos mediante tel\u00e9fonos personales. La iniciativa forma parte de un plan integral del Ministerio de Defensa de Jap\u00f3n, para modernizar sus capacidades de combate, buscando adem\u00e1s fortalecer tres pilares fundamentales: vigilancia, capacidad de ataque y sistemas de intercepci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Japan has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/nhkworld\/en\/news\/20260902_09\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">offered<\/a>\u00a0a first look at a new combat drone roughly the size of a flashlight, giving troops a compact system designed to scout and strike ground targets at close range.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Footage shared by NHK WORLD-JAPAN shows the drone stored in a tube-like housing and equipped with a stacked multi-rotor configuration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite its small size, the aircraft is designed to carry cameras or munitions against ground vehicles.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19072\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19072\" style=\"width: 860px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19072\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/8765875-e1788520916196.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"860\" height=\"568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/8765875-e1788520916196.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/8765875-e1788520916196-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/8765875-e1788520916196-768x507.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19072\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Operators deploying a flashlight-sized drone during an exercise.
