The Runner: Special Forces Deploy Experimental Drones in Futuristic Chase

In this heart-pounding short film, an elite Special Forces team utilizes emerging drone technology to track down a high-value target on the run. Equipped with fusion night vision systems and drones clad in MORSEL signature mitigation chassises the team tracks a fleeing subject into the vaulted halls of a cave system.

Damn, that was fun to watch boys! I’m a 55yo, retired cop, and ‘05’ Iraq veteran. I’ve turned UTube into just another news source for myself because of my algorithm. So I’m trying to watch at least some fun stuff to lighten up on my algorithm. But at the same time, it needs to be content that I’m interested in. So this hot the spot, especially since I just took my 14 yo daughter shooting yesterday at my buddies range. Oh yeah, she loved her Christmas present (chest rig & S&W MP 15-22 that’s decked out!!) Thanks again and I’ll look for more from ya. Jack

Whoa this gives me serious deja vu of playing both Wildlands and Breakpoint. Anytime a lieutenant or bagman would run me and my crew would chase with one sending out their drone to keep track of their route. Very cool to watch a live simulation of the concept.

[@daveemerson6549]

I'm not saying this isn't super cool, just that I would have expected a short from a company solely focused on drone support and development to show some more of the actual drones, rather than.just using it for 5 secs in the intro to say "Yup, he's over there." You could easily have cut this together in such a way as to depict the drone and operator taking a more active / ongoing role in the operation just by intercutting a couple shots of the guy moving through terrain and the drone tracking him. You could have probably even used the b-roll you already had and not shot anything additional.

[@TheEarthIsAwesome]

I’m sure china was watching the live feed from this DJI in real time 😂

[@AscendISR]

The amount of paranoia on this topic is extremely over amplified. DJI has a vested interest not to play ball with the U.S government (who is absolutely terrified of civilians having access to drones). The federal government is trying to actively disarm you by banning imported drone technology. Additionally, American UAS companies like Skydio and Parrot have extremely strong ties to the DOJ and would 100% brick your drone for good boy points to secure yet another defense contract.

[@TheEarthIsAwesome]

@ I know. I love DJI I have invested about 15k into their products over the years. With the software that’s out there you can program them however you’d like and use the drone for only its mechanical features.

[@Dr_Larken]

This is awesome, however 1:56 I don't know why but the idea of slapping a "any" PEQ onto the drone would make for a cool site! lol just imagine having a swarm with a bunch of lasers in the middle of the night, psychological damage that would do to the enemy! Unless it's an Afghanistan, nobody's taking it, Afghanistan! Literally where empires go to fall!

[@AKADwayne]

I don't want to come off as a hater, coz that was great to watch.. But that "Experimental" drone just looked like a skinned DJI drone with a flash light strapped on top! :D Still, great videography.. That was cool as fuck to watch :)
