Those were some nice pics, there backyard of the Dutch Army.

Also i still dont know if i would trust that Robotic bear. Mainly for the reason i brought up when you first posted about it nick, that if a soldier has a spinal injury, the operator may not be able to spot certain signs of it as they arent actually next to the person. But i think in other situations it could be useful. Then there is the fact that it is a somewhat intimidating looking bear robot... so if the soldier is in Shock... they may flip out a bit more. Its also funny to see an actual mock up of it instead of the concept pictures posted way back.

The Ultimate M16/M4 Mag

Under development for three years, the ARC Magazine was designed specifically for USSOCOM's SCAR program. However, it will also fit M16-style weapons including receivers with out of spec magwells. Unfortunately, magwell tolerances has been an issue for many magazines for years going back to the Israeli Orlite mags that hit the US market over 20 years ago and an ongoing problem ever since. Manufactured from a high strength polymer, the ARC magazine will be available initially in 5.56�45mm and 7.62�51mm for both FN SCAR light and heavy weapons.

Notice how the lower half of the magazine has a somewhat more pronounced curve than a standard 30 round M16 magazine. The allows the magazine to have the optimal ammunition stack. Additionally, the joint is secured with an adhesive with a higher strength than the actual magazine body.

This is a no maintenance magazine other than to brush it down and spray it out with compressed air or water. Also, note that there is no floor plate. This means that it is a five sided box construction and extremely strong. Additionally, the chromium spring resists corrosion. Tangodown has also developed a maritime version with a one way drain valve for OTB operations.

The 'gasket' between magwell and magazine is actually a soft durometer silicone seal that is bonded to the magazine and will only be found on the government issue variants and serves as a sand or dust seal.

The ARC Magazine will be available in Black, Flat Dark Earth, and Foliage Green. Due to the different geometry of the ARC magazine new pouches are under development for the GI model but the commercial variant will fit most standard ammo pouches.

µDrones site,you should check out the videos on here of the mini drones they have built, the stability is remarkable.

As I said before, alot of the R&D R&T work done by the military in the US is done by civilians here.....

Nice, i had no idea how light weight it actually was. Together with the refill packs, it just weighs 1.8 kilos, for a 48 hour endurance.Supressed infrared en emissions, and they say the bloody thing 'll be ready for production by 2009.

This makes me feel all warm and patriotic inside. Big Grin

I suspect our NATO partners 'll be interested in it as well..

Video: Hovering 'Multiple Kill Vehicle," Straight Outta Star Wars
By Noah Shachtman December 09, 2008 | 9:53:06 AMCategories: Missiles, Video Fix
The Pentagon is investing big in an interceptor that can knock down several missiles at once, and get past any countermeasures. But for this "Multiple Kill Vehicle" to work right, it has to be able to radically maneuver and reposition itself in mid-air. Earlier this months, a prototype payload was tested at Edwards Air Force Base in California. And the result, as Ares notes, was something that looked like the target droid that "zapped a blindfolded Luke Skywalker during lightsaber training."

DARPA orders 'fridge-sized' laser energy cannon
Track this topic Print story Post comment Giant GM sharks with strengthened necks expected

By Lewis Page "¢ Get more from this author

Posted in Science, 5th December 2008 16:22 GMT

Free Download - Security Web 2.0

American weaponry researchers have awarded a $21m contract for the design and development of a 150-kilowatt energy weapon, high-powered enough to blast missiles out of the sky yet light enough to be carried by a jet fighter.

The cash-in the newly-inked deal goes to Textron Defence Systems, who will in return "fabricate and test a Unit Cell Module for a 150 kilowatt Laser Weapon System (LWS) and develop a critical design for the 150kW LWS".

One need hardly add that the greenbacks come not from any normal US government weapons lab but rather from DARPA, the Pentagon's very own inflight pieshop.

In this case, however, the agency isn't seeking pie in the sky so much as rayguns in the sky. The idea of the agency's High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defence system is to make combat-power lasers light enough to put on "tactical aircraft" - that is, fighters rather than great big transports. Present-day rayguns are so heavy that they can only be lifted by C-130 haulers or jumbo jets.

It's nice to put energy cannons in the sky, according to DARPA, because they shoot in straight lines. Anything beyond the horizon can't be blasted, meaning that a laser on the ground can't engage low-flying or surface targets unless they come close.

A patrolling raygun fighter, in DARPA's thinking, would be able to blast bombardment rockets, artillery shells and suchlike in mid-flight across a large region - hence the "area defence" tag. If anyone sought to meddle with the aerial raygun umbrella, perhaps using a pesky anti-aircraft missile, that too could easily be beamed out of existence.

"The capability to shoot down tactical targets such as surface-to-air missiles and rockets will be demonstrated," according to DARPA's programme chief, Don Woodbury.

Textron Systems' Dr John Boness believes that the DARPA cash will "accelerate the deployment of practical Directed Energy Weapons to the warfighter".

Originally the HELLADS system was to use a liquid laser medium pumped by light-emitting diodes - hence the name - but Textron now say they will be using "proprietary ThinZag® Ceramic solid-state" tech. DARPA have previously said the final 150kW demo module should "weigh just 750 kilograms and fit into a space about the size of a large refrigerator".

This isn't exactly pocket-size, but compared to solid state laser weapons already on sale HELLADS would be about a third the weight for a given level of output power. That could be enough, as DARPA suggest, to enable the long-desired shift from boring old laser tanks to raygun fighters.


One need hardly add that the bonkers-boffinry outfit has plans to fit its new fridge-sized beam cannons to flying robots too. We also confidently anticipate the announcement of plans to tinker with sharks' DNA so as to produce larger and more powerful specimens with especially strong necks. ®

Nice job guys, that's some cool tech!

At the Army Science COnf. I attended, scientists are talking about beaming energy down wirelessly to troops to reduce their logistical loads even more! Surprised

Don't get excited just yet. Wireless energy transfer is still some way off. Especially small scale,rugged devices for use on a battlefield.
