""You can build your own version of the Raven drone, which is a widely used military drone, for about $1,000 dollars," says Peter Singer, author of the new book 'Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century', arguing that "just like software, warfare is going open source." He warns that ultimately robot warfare may even expand beyond the military using more DIY and off-the-shelf systems. Besides 43 countries now working on military robots, there's "non-state actors ranging from Hezbollah to this militia group in Arizona to a bunch of college kids at Swarthmore... One person's hobby — such as the hobbyist who flew a homemade drone from North America to Great Britain — can be another person's terrorist strike option.""
