Damn, DARPA, you scary. And to think, I walked out of the theater during Wanted.

quote:

If there’s an overarching theme for weapons research at the U.S. Department of Defense research agency DARPA it’s this: You can run, but you can’t hide.

DARPA researchers have recently tested homing bullets that maneuver themselves in-flight to hit moving targets from long distance. Researchers first tested the Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) earlier this year, and expert, as well as novice, marksmen consistently hit a target from hundreds of yards away.

Neat, but they still can't curve a bullet.

DARPA is a bit scary. Let's just say I'm glad they are (mostly) on our side.

I've had somewhat of an education about them over the past two years.

The robots are probably the creepiest, but it's all pretty amazing.
