New Tales from the DARPA Side of the Force

Lots of new stuff of interest at Defense Tech.

Yes, Virginia, we are living in a Philip K. Dick novel, and more so every day.

*The first public appearance of the Robot Fighter.

*Sonic blasters and super sensitive listening devices are being experimented with in Iraq (human experimentation on "insurgents"?) and distributed to some police forces like Los Angeles in the Homeland.

*The Pentagon came out with its Unmanned Forces Roadmap for the next 25 years, which is a declassified .pdf document you can get here from the Federation of American Scientists.

That's one roadmap you'll be hearing more about here in the days to come.
