DARPA's (click here) made all types of robots, from "Big Dog" to "Wild Cat," and soft robots to flying robots. Their latest creepy invention is a robotic "cheetah" that can run, bound, and jump obstacles in its path all while running on a quiet electric motor, giving the robot its stealthy cat-like quality....
Just when Americans are as threatened by the reality of drones flying in Homeland Skies, comes Star Wars. No, not the Reagan Star Wars, the Darth Vader Star Wars.

Prepare yourself for a future filled (click here) with real-life pew pew! The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is working with Lockheed Martin to test "a new beam control turret... to give 360-degree coverage for high-energy laser weapons operating on military aircraft."
In other words, it stuck a primitive (by rebel standards) "Star Wars"-style laser cannon on a fighter jet and flew it over Michigan eight times.
"These initial flight tests validate the performance of our ABC turret design," Lockheed's Doug Graham said. in a release....
The USA is actually attempting to perfect a laser to destroy. A laser. Shot from a jet. It could even be mounted on a jet that can fly at near light speed.
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 15, 2014 – Lockheed Martin (click here) [NYSE: LMT], in partnership with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the University of Notre Dame, has demonstrated the airworthiness of a new beam control turret being developed for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and AFRL to give 360-degree coverage for high-energy laser weapons operating on military aircraft. A research aircraft equipped with the Aero-adaptive Aero-optic Beam Control (ABC) turret conducted eight flights in Michigan....
At any point in time does the military industrial complex of the USA see human flesh as anything besides an enemy?
Jesus Christ!
A laser!
Why!
When non-proliferation treaties are signed and IBM treaties are signed, the citizens of the USA find comfort in knowing some of the worst instruments of war are now out of reach of their military. This so called advancement in military science is a travesty to this country when Americans want nothing more than peace and the elimination of the hatred that develops into war.
There needs to be a United Nations convention to limit the 'invasive' nature of war. The USA has drones and uses them to hunt human beings. It is removing the human component to war and substituting machines that treat the so called enemy as an ant hill.
