That is a real boat! It's like a giant grey enclosed pontoon with all flat surfaces.jbrettlip wrote:FUnny thing was I used to read the Weekly world news for a good laugh. I showed my dad the picture of a stealth war boat. It looked similar to the stealh bomber but in the water. My dad smirked and asked me if he could have that. He put it in his briefcase and I never saw it again.
He has worked in testing and development for the army for years. I don't know if he took it to F with me, or if they really had pics of something they shouldn't.
So the moral is: yes, they probably are/have or will develop all those things that simply sound impossible.
Perhaps none of the above .. maybe that was the inspiration for the future ...jbrettlip wrote:FUnny thing was I used to read the Weekly world news for a good laugh.

Ah, yes, I remember reading something like that in Popular Science or something. Orbital insertion set to happen in a few years. Really cool stuff.OnlyAmbrose wrote:Read an article in Marine Corps times a few weeks ago that the DoD is working on a starship troopers-esque insertion vehicle. Basically, a squad of Marines loads into a rocket, gets launched into space, goes into orbit, and smashes down wherever there's action in a matter of minutes. Talk about rapid response.
Unsure if it gives a new meaning to the word...I think that would still mean water or land...But it could be a new meaning to "Surprise assault". or "airborne"Hologram wrote:Ah, yes, I remember reading something like that in Popular Science or something.

Kinda gives a whole new meaning to amphibious invasion.
There army wants it by 2018 was it? So that prolly means that they have it now actually. Some of the stuff the Army Times reports on is amazing. As if mind-erasing ray guns aren't cool(and F-ing scary) enough, search their site for "brain waves reading cameras." They are working on cameras that can LITERALLY read your thoughs. I read that a while back but decided not to share.Hologram wrote:Ah, yes, I remember reading something like that in Popular Science or something. Orbital insertion set to happen in a few years.

They might, and Force Recon is probably trained and able to use it if they do, but I don't think there's been a whole lot of cause to yet as the reason for using orbital insertion is to get into a landlocked country (like Afghanistan) without having to wait on airspace use treaties. They simply have to go up and over.Juan_Bottom wrote:There army wants it by 2018 was it? So that prolly means that they have it now actually. Some of the stuff the Army Times reports on is amazing.

Can you imagine what you could do with a machine like that? I more scared of that than invisability cloaks actually. Glad our sides got this stuff.
Did my sarcasmometer just go "ping"?Juan_Bottom wrote: Glad our sides got this stuff.
Silent Sounds, Inc. states that it is interested only in positive emotions, but the military is not so limited. That this is a US Department of Defense project is obvious.
Edward Tilton, President of Silent Sounds, Inc., says this about S-quad in a letter dated December 13, 1996:
"All schematics, however, have been classified by the US Government and we are not allowed to reveal the exact details... ... we make tapes and CDs for the German Government, even the former Soviet Union countries! All with the permission of the US State Department, of course... The system was used throughout Operation Desert Storm (Iraq) quite successfully."
