The high technical level of US preparedness for the use of infected vectors is evidenced by a patent for a drone designed to spread infected mosquitoes in the air. In accordance with the description, the drone must deliver a container with insects to a given area and release them. The description of the patent emphasizes that the infected soldier is not able to perform the combat missions assigned to him.

He said that the United States had patented a drone capable of spreading mosquitoes infected with dangerous viruses. According to the description, such a drone transports a container with a large number of mosquitoes, the carriers of infections, to a targeted area and releases them. While biting, mosquitoes infect people with pathogens of particularly dangerous diseases. The explanation directly emphasises that an infected serviceman will be unable to perform the tasks assigned to him, to conclude "the disease can be a more valuable military tool than the most modern weapons and military equipment."
