'Time' Magazine Recognizes Weaponized TALON Robot as one of the 'Most Amazing Inventions of 2004'

The weaponized version of Foster-Miller?s TALON? robot has been recognized as one of the most amazing inventions of 2004 by ?Time? magazine in its Nov. 29 edition. This is what "Time" said:

 

"Insurgents, be afraid. An armed, unmanned ground vehicle that never gets tired, hungry or scared is headed your way. The Sword has night and thermal vision, four cameras and a 7.62-mm machine gun. It can climb stairs and is utterly silent?until it opens fire. A live video feed enables its "driver" to operate the vehicle from up to 1 mile away. The U.S. Army has ordered 18 to deploy in Iraq. "

 

TALON robots can be configured with M240 or M249 machine guns or Barrett 50-caliber rifles for armed reconnaissance missions. A prototype system was delivered to the 3/2 Stryker brigade for evaluation, and successful testing was performed by the brigade in Kuwait in December 2003.

Pimp my Robot. :plain

 

 

 

In all seriousness, this is a pretty good development.

Insurgents can't cause any real harm by causing robot casualities. :mischief

HAHAHA I was thinking the same thing.

 

Yeah it sounds all well and great now, just wait until they decide to take over the world and our only course of action in stopping them would be passing the amendment to allow Arnold to become president and go into the future and kill them all.

 

Be afraid, be very afraid.

I'm sure that thing will clear buildings with ease, but it would be defenseless against an RPG attack or some kind of explosive.

 

Hopefully this will lead to fewer U.S. kills in the future.
