Three US states are set to pilot a new drone system called 'Campus Guardian Angel' designed to neutralize school shooters. Developed by Mithril Defense, these drones can be deployed by teachers via an app or panic button and are equipped with strobes, sirens, pepper spray, and a 60 mph ramming capability. The program aims to react to active shooter situations within 15 seconds, with pilot programs launching in Florida, Georgia, and Colorado. AI

RANK_REASON This is a pilot program for a specific product (armed drones) being deployed in a limited number of locations, rather than a broad policy change or a new frontier technology release.
