I was a student at Carnegie Mellon where I actually met the Professor who worked on this DARPA project. My reaction then was the same as it is now - what a horribly inacurate name for such a horrifyingly destructive technology - these are the wonders that government commitees come up with to get funded. These mine fields collectively are part of a large neural network and can accurately predict how to instill maximum damage with little loss to its "self".
