DARPA Chief Outlines Array of Future Projects
coondoggie writes to tell us that DARPA announced a wide array of new projects in a report to the House Armed Services Committee that they will be funding in the near future. "everything from advanced network and communications implementations to powerful laser and unmanned aircraft development as well as developing techniques to help military personnel survive myriad dangerous situations"
"We call this one, 'ImpeacherBot'. Its mission is to save what army we still have."
How about taking those Senators, or whores depending on who you talk too, and putting them in the same level of danger. I think this technique would be quite useful for making sure our military over seas actually gets the equipment it needs to survive the myriad of dangerous situations they face.
IMO, the most dangerous situation our military faces is the corruption in our government which gives billions to private armies while simultaneously depriving our soldiers of simple bulletproof vests.
I do love hearing about the Land Warrior program, and all the high tech goodness coming from Darpa and the Military Industrial Complex. It is certainly some very cool stuff, it's just that I have to wonder whether or not it will actually reach the field due to funding issues.
