Sounds interesting, now if it could only be made into an infra-red motion sensitive automated turret gun, we would really see the dawn of a new age.

All very well and good as long as it can differentiate between egressing and ingressing troops, and the enemy. Otherwise I think our guys would prefer to have one of their own in control of the Braaaapp.

We have the tech now to put stop signal devices woven right into troops clothing.In another 15 years or so, you will likely see that develope as autofire interface devices. And there will be accidents just like there are today, regretably.

But fire control has to catch up with ordnance, like phalax style guns on the battlefield. We have the tech to do it, its just not been fielded. Imagine an Osprey like A/C. with a couple of automated 360 degree turrets under it , each with a pahlax style gun? Tangos would become very scarce, very quickly.Those kind of guns could shoot rpgs right out of the air, back track the trajectory and wipe out the enemy , all in about 12 seconds. Its the same tracking tech used for missile intercepts that the military has developed.

The tech on the battlefield is about to take a quantum leap. All we need is the right president, and that be Duncan Hunter.
