New MilTech in Response to Current Threat EnvironmentDARPA's 'Star Wars'-style Laser Cannon
Laser cannon. The words evoke immediate visions of the space war scenes in Star Wars. As it turns out the US is starting to build this new way to do it to them before they get a chance to do it to us. The Darpa program is called the High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System (HELLADS).
No muss, no fuss. Direct application of lethal energy to the target with no need for ammunition. Nice.
If you have an interest in other sorts of advanced projects, the DARPA TTO site (use the PROGRAMS link) describes some of the sorts of things that are coming down the chute. SciFi comes to life - our tax dollars at work, and worth every cent!
The Supreme CourtBuffalo roams the battlefield to protect soldiers from mines

Bill Whittle is, IMHO, the Thomas Paine of the 21st Century!
Having open comments on a blog is a lot like sitting out on your porch. Sometimes a friendly neighbor stops by for a chat, and sometimes the moonbats are drawn to the light. I enjoy the moonbats. In fact, without...Baby Born
