Recap of my late-night Internet explorations:
Augmented reality for soldiers, quantum entanglement communications, and neural prosthesis are all being looked at by DARPA. Laser weapons are real, but are mostly vehicle-mounted and used for shooting down missiles; the Soviets liked lasers and wanted cosmonauts to use laser pistols to burn through enemy astronauts’ suits. BigDog is still around and might have arms now. I’m still afraid of EATR; the idea of a carnivorous robot frightens me. Metal Storm seems really cool but they’re in bankruptcy or something. Powered exoskeletons seem to be coming along well. Brain-controlled prosthetic armor built last year. I also made a tiny list of international arms manufacturers with cool names and/or products, for reference eventually.
All in all, a good night.
Augmented reality systems for squad leaders? Going into field testing in this August?
Yes please.
