SPARROW: The Rocket-Powered Drone That Jumps Like a Missile

What if a drone didn’t fly… but leapt like a weaponized grasshopper?
Meet SPARROW — the Smart Precise Air-deployed Rocket with Recovery. Designed by Sandia National Laboratories, this explosive little machine doesn’t just launch… it relaunches. Over and over again. Powered by mini-rocket thrusters and built for hostile terrain, SPARROW can drop in like a missile, survive the landing, and jump again to strike or scout new targets.

In this episode of Mind Blown Tech 2Day, we dive into the wild tech behind SPARROW, its Cold War roots, current battlefield testing, and what happens when cheap, autonomous weapons can leapfrog across combat zones.

Small. Fast. Deadly. And it's real.
