Terminator fan’s know of the all seeing, all knowing global computer network known as Skynet.
Well, the U.S. Military is working on the real deal – The GIG, or Global Information Grid is a worldwide surveillance network that will give anyone linked into it instant information, at the users request, about anything, anytime, anywhere in the world! This project, which began in 2003 under the guidance of Donald Rumsfeld, will give users a “God-Like” view of the entire world.
It seems the U.S. Air Force is also investing huge sums of money in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Army planned for full force deployment by 2047. These UAV’s being develop are mid- and short-range UAVs all of which are currently capable of autonomously taking off, flying en route to the “mission area” and landing, allowing for minimal human interaction. The real crazy stuff comes in the form of Fly insect-shaped UAV designed for espionage. These micro-sized vehicles are capable of full audio and video transmission making secrecy a thing of the past, so next time you see a fly on the wall think twice.
The payload on each of these machines vary from Infrared/Electro-optical missiles to being able to deploy nanomachine weapons engineered in various different ways. Able to infect the target(s) resulting in whatever devious malaise they are programed with and ultimately resulting in death.
Below are links to the documentation of the UAV’s being developed and The GIG.
