biomorphic micro air vehicles to spy/kill (bzz)
#3
David, I had occasion to read a draft RAND paper on the application of swarm AI systems applied to UAV's to be used in homeland security as part of an invite to participate in a future project with folks set up through a university in Oklahoma near a former military base for simulation and training purposes; I declined, and I think they caught wind of my need to take that simulation technology in the wholly opposite direction, so they declined further contact. That was years ago.

What we read about in the common public press is, I think, at least in some cases, merely a timely release of information because it is clear that the public has already gained knowledge of something out there now freed from within the realms of black budget technology which means that the application is no longer someone's brainstorm but real, likely in use or ready for use, etc. There is also a new wave of larger UAV technologies, sort of death from the sky 2.0 as it were, with larger units able to carry more, flying off carriers and. no doubt, other naval platforms or any mini-base now operating as a FOB. (There are thousands of FOB's on the Pentagon vest,)

[Those Jung books will be here any day now. I just received word they have been shipped. Perhaps there is food for further posters, satire, understanding, exposure of the evil, and -- dare I hope-- for prevention.]
