Favoured for the text of the notes more than the image, I must confess.

My own take on 'military robots' is here:Β
The OWLS Are Not What They Seem'The Reason We Won't Be Seeing A New Series Of Robot Wars' was suggested as the strap line when I submitted this to the FT as a potential op-ed piece on robotic warfare. They didn't use it, despite being offered a 24 hour exclusive, and so now it's here:
"At the designated co-ordinates,... One round ABFC.... FIRE!"
Congress had ruled that only a human being could give a direct order to fire an ABFC howitzer round. The Autonomous Battle Field Clusterbot shell was six inches in diameter and could be fired from a large naval gun or a stand-off battle field howitzer unit, manned or unmanned, as long as the final command was issued by a duly authorised human voice, male or female.
Each round was about three quarters of a metre long. The blunt looking nose was packed with military clusterbot components suspended in a shock absorbing gel. When fired these moved from the front of the shell to the back, decelerating just slowly enough to survive the shock.Β On landing the bots decelerated. Automated warfare might be the next step as 'Robot Wars' moves into the real battle field.

Hey, Mr. President!Β We just perfected this new "Neutron Smart Bomb"!Β It lays waste to just as much military hardware as any regular bomb BUT Kills 30% Less People!

Theoretically, that Anti-Missile laser could be attached to some sort of Armored Combat Vehicle, and be used as an Anti-Air/Anti-Ground platform, as well (by Theoretically, I mean apply Von Grobel science).

Good information, for the most part. about 2/3 of the weapons listings are correct; the other 1/3, not so much. I'm involved with weapons engineering, and thus have access to some interesting data.

Nice picture and an interesting piece of info too. A bit frightening though...

I know a few of these weapons exist, and I've seen a few in games, and a lot of them have potential to exist. There are some that are highly improbable though...

As for your comments take a look at this. At one point the U.S. military tried to create a bomb that made everyone gay... [link]

I love the photo but I have to say I'll believe the weapons when I see them, which I hopefully never will

Its amazing how the shelter we seek seems so flimsy in a world filled with high tech gadgets. Almost like peace so fleeting in a world of chaos.
Beautiful work.

It is indeed a scary world we're living in. Beautiful photo and good info on modern warfare.
