Don’t be surprised if you catch a federal fleet of sneaky spy drones soaring over your head in the near future, but don’t be too terrified — it’s all in the name of public safety.

The US Department of Homeland Security is asking the makers of small unmanned aerial vehicles to submit their crafts for consideration as the agency ramps up the construction of a full-fledged surveillance state across America. The DHS plans to soon conduct drone tests over the Fort Sill, Oklahoma US Army base, and they’re already soliciting spy planes from the private sector so they can select what kind of UAV to use.

According to a request for information published on the Federal Business Opportunities website recently, the DHS is determined to begin drone tests over the military base soon and is seeking submissions from drone makers that don’t mind making a few bucks by having their products put into the US airspace to conduct sweeping surveillance.

The Borders and Maritime Security Division of the DHS “will conduct flight testing and evaluation of airborne sensors and small unmanned aerial systems,” the request reads, and now invites vendors to submit drones to be tested “under a wide variety of simulated but realistic and relevant real-world operation scenarios.”

Nah, this is just like in science fiction movies. Surveillance drones soaring between skyscrapers, robots patrolling streets. Everyone marked with magnetic chip. We just have to increase amount of cyber criminality for our freedom.

There's been manned patrol helicopters soaring over your head for decades, why does it suddenly becomes 1984 if they are unmanned?

Scale. Helicopter and pilots are extremely expensive these UAVs are not. This makes mass surveillance of cities feasible.
