US begins hypersonic weapons program
13:16 21 November 03
NewScientist.com news service
The US military has begun development of an ultra-high speed weapons system that would enable targets virtually anywhere on Earth to be hit within two hours of launch from the continental US.
Ten companies have been given grants by the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Pentagon for six-month "system definition" studies. If the Pentagon likes the results, a three-year design and development phase will begin.
The ultimate aim, slated for around 2025, is a reusable Hypersonic Cruise Vehicle (HCV) that can take off from a conventional runway in the US and strike targets up to 16,700 kilometres (10,350 miles) away.
"There is a strategic military need to be able to strike potentially dangerous military targets that are far away and may only be accessible for a short period of time," explains Daniel Goure, an analyst at the Lexington Institute, a think tank in Washington DC.

New toys for the Pentagon!
At least they're going to recycle...We don't have to worry about all those cluster bombs cluttering up the countryside anymore...
The prolonged barrage engulfed Zero-One in the glow of a thousand suns. But unlike their former masters with their delicate flesh, the machines had little to fear of the bombs' radiation and heat. Thus did Zero-One's troops advance outwards in every direction. And one after another, mankind surrendered its territories. So the leaders of men conceived of their most desperate strategy yet. A final solution: the destruction of the sky.

way to find something positive in this age-old story: The Pentagon finding new ways to waste your money!! Maybe they should get Reagan working on this project, he had such good success with his little pet missle defense system after all.

mmm... just loving these new weapon systems they're coming out with.
anyone read about "metal storm?" the automated turret system that can shoot out around 1,000,000 rounds per min? not only 9mm rounds, but grenades as well.
Economic Left/Right: -9.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.10
where do you even find the space for a million rounds? what a ridiculous machine that sounds like, the 'metal storm.' just what we need, another machine capable of killing a million people in a minute.

Talk about overkill. A cyclic rate of 1 million rounds per minute? What a fucking ridiculous idea.

well it rarely matters how good your weapons are. More of how you are fighting. Lets just say that guy in the donkey cart fires a round and gets some kills, but probably gets his ass shot to pieces lol. Then again in Nam both sides weapons were well praised but equaled shit. Well Ar-15 operated pretty horrid at the beginning of the war. Guerrilla warfare seems like the best option in most cases. I think the purpose of metal storm was to be able to limit the number of casualties by kinda using it like an artillery for an oncoming attack. Well thats what it was meant for lol doesnt mean thats what it will be used for haha
If I was the head of a country that lost a war, and I had to sign a peace treaty, just as I was signing I'd glance over the treaty and then suddenly act surprised. "Wait a minute! I thought we won!"
I remember how, in college, I got that part-time job as a circus clown, and how the children would laugh and laugh at me. I vowed, then and there, that I would get revenge.
One day a beaver and a termite were walking down the road together. "I can eat through a tree with my teeth," said the beaver. "That's nothing," said the termite, "I can burrow through a tree." Then they heard a voice behind them. "You two think you're so smart, but you're nothing!" It was a bitter old drunk lady.
Seriously. You could carve your name into a mountain side with something like that.
LOL, true! :P
But military supremacy does not guarantee victory, as the Yanks found in Vietnam! The AK-47 was technically inferior to the much vaunted M-16. (Was it the M-16?) But the AK was the better weapon in combat; plus, the VietCong were better organised and had the tactical edge.
Damn weapons though; they are so WRONG. Do you [a collective 'you'] know what the world military budget amounts to every year? A staggering $831 BILLION. Ridiculous amounts of money; almost all of it down to the capitalist West. The bastards.
This amount of money could solve the problems of World Hunger...
Or provide medicine for the thousands that die each day from preventable diseases...
Or help to preserve our rainforests and wildlife...
Or aid the education of the worlds children...
But no, we have to spend it on weapons. To kill each other. In more and more spectacular and gruesome ways. The World has gone mad.
Peace, Love and Jesus!

Yes, yes, yes, as they learnt in Vietnam. But I'm sure that the US Army has more than well learnt it's lesson by now; they have joint exercises with Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore every year, and probably know their way around the jungles just as well as we aboriginal-indigenous-tree-folk do, by now.
Besides, now they've got Metal Storm-type weapons. Can anyone say C-A-N-N-O-N-F-O-D-D-E-R?

The early M-16s were inferior, they caused plenty of early on massacres for US troops. Jammed often. Well if i get gunned down by metal storm or whatever i take it ill take enough shots not to suffer lol. Im more of a war guy (dont blame me, its genetic, 3 generations of 101st Airborne, not to mention my family was fighting in Ireland before that.) I understand having trying to find new ideas for weapons, but ur right its getting fucking rediculous. but should we be fighting with springfields? in fact if you look back the guns now are alot more "humane" then the weapons of the past. (howd u like to get shot by a mini ball, or stabbed by a damn spear)

I'm from a 'military' family, too. My grandpa was in the Royal Engineers and my father fought against Maoist guerrillas in the jungles of Borneo.
Oh, the irony.

He was attached to the Royal Engineers during the Second World War, just before the Japanese invasion of Malaya, in the early '40s. My dad was in the Royal Malay Regiment, served for almost 30 years.
