Packs of Robots Will Hunt Down Uncooperative Humans
Ostracus writes "The latest request from the Pentagon jars the senses. At least, it did mine. They are looking for contractors to 'develop a software/hardware suite that would enable a multi-robot team, together with a human operator, to search for and detect a non-cooperative human subject. The main research task will involve determining the movements of the robot team through the environment to maximize the opportunity to find the subject ... Typical robots for this type of activity are expected to weigh less than 100 Kg and the team would have three to five robots.'"
To be fair, they plan to use the Multi-Robot Pursuit System for less nefarious-sounding purposes as well. They note that the robots would "have potential commercialization within search and rescue, fire fighting, reconnaissance, and automated biological, chemical and radiation sensing with mobile platforms."

VERY stupid. It's your tax money. Most of those projects never produce anything but expensive trash.
U.S. government corruption: Anything for weapons and oil investors, nothing for average citizens.
Read House of Bush, House of Saud. Bush and his friends and associates sell U.S. government power to those who pay the most. Saudis have paid them 1.4 Billion dollars, so the Saudis got EXACTLY what they wanted.

I'm an atheist and hence don't believe the FSM will throw space rocks for me. I stand a better chance for self advancement with one of the above-mentioned groups, so I've already picked a favourite.

But a peice of paper titled "Warrant" that is neither signed by a judge and doesn't have an affidavit, injury, proof of claim, and in-personam jurisdiction is not a warrant.
You wait until you have to do some running yourself, but as for me I don't run from the law: I bring the law in form of 10 commandments. All that crap they force on you is limited liability legislation. All the densely populated areas along the coast are slowly being pilfered and liquidated by law enforcement to facilitate the transfer of property to Chinese interests that own it all. They don't care, because they get $60 base pay, $80k base pay expanse for dangerous duty, and overtime is tripple base pay. They also get salvage rights for property that isn't illegal but they libel it on their police report to be used later to falsify searches. In my neighborhood back in Westminster California, 1 of every 3 neighbors is foreclosed and the sherrif and deputies are in overtime even after Mike Carona was caught on over $500k bribery yet to be traced to Chinese interests.
There are over 2.5 Million outstanding arrest warrants in California!, most for non-violent interactions to which the legislature has alienated the rights of someone who had not caused any redressable injury to anyone (perhaps to themselves though). Notice how rather than remedy the matter, they legislate more crap?
How about the crap the pull on Raymon Ronald Karczewski in Oregon, perhaps the last American remaining that knows how to uphold his inherint rights along with the Gastons' Pamela and Wilbur Russel.
All the government nowdays is nothing more than corruption that only looks after itself like a club. What percentage of Government workers and Government benefits are compared to independent privateers? It's like 9 out of 10 are closely intwined with Government, and the remaining are eeking by. The people have nothing today. US Government is in commerce you dumb f*cks, they aren't governing they are stealing by entrapment and immiment domain. You all justify your neighbors to suffer yet wouldn't dare suffer yourselves.
Actually, it would help if it was helping THIS... "Hope this helps", would be the proper English sentence.
Well, since you obviously know what you're talking about...
