Bat would gather data from sights, sounds, smells

A six-inch robotic spy plane modeled after a bat would gather data from sights, sounds and smells in urban combat zones and transmit information back to a soldier in real time.

That's the US Army's concept, and it has awarded the University of Michigan College of Engineering a five-year, $10-million grant to help make it happen.
