Boeing Tests Laser Avenger
November 14th 2007 14:50
It sounds like something out of a 60s sci-fi show of sorts, Boeing's latest efforts involves putting a ridiculously large laser blaster on a humvee with the simple intention of blowing up road side bombs. Sure it could be useful, but it also sticks out like a sore thumb.
All the bulk we have here produces a one centimetre thick laser beam which is capable of creating heat twenty times hotter than a stove. It can burn through mortar rounds and unmanned aerial drones but sadly we'll have to wait a long time before it's small enough to hold.

Robo-Cars Compete in a 2 Million Dollar Race
November 6th 2007 08:57
Robotic vehicles with various sensors, from cameras to lasers, were put side by side in a race to prove their worth, not necessarily as the fastest vehicles, but the most reliable. The winner will be decided based on a combination of time completion, observation of road laws, and safety.
While the technology is still just being put to real world tests (such as in this test) it is worthy to note that there were relatively few stuff ups, nothing more serious than a vehicle ending up on a side walk.

Real Life Mech
November 2nd 2006 12:11
A mech is basically a vehicle on legs. Impossible to create? Well thus far, yes, very impossible.
More of a science fiction concept that is best known and recognized in sci-fi movies such as Star Wars (i.e. the ATST), or in videogames such as ‘Mech Warrior’ among many others[ Click here to read more ]

Super Farting Soldiers 3000 (The SFS3000 for short)
November 1st 2006 10:42
What would be the super soldier? Well according to some film makers and writers the perfect soldier would be a ruthless efficient killer desperate to gain acceptance in what he does, in what he is, and desperate for the love of the very country he fights for, for what he is, he’ll act out of hand to defend the country, or do what he believes is defending his country, and he’ll do it well… Also the perfect soldier would happen to be the spitting image of one Marlon Brando and would be a ridiculously good actor.
That’s not the militaries opinion of a super soldier. What the military wants is a soldier who is indestructible. To what degree will they go to do this? I would say that they would go as far as they could[ Click here to read more ]
