Guided Bullets, Rescue Robots, and Force Fields | And Guns for Sale

This information is publicly available. Refer to for further information on Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) research. These weapons are not available to the civilian population. The advancements in military weaponry serve to underscore how far apart military weapons are growing from the guns for sale available to civilians. DARPA’s research is often the subject of what used to be only science fiction.

Supporters of gun control often say civilians shouldn’t be allowed to have “military guns”. We know we don’t and are aware of the differences. There is even less comparison of the up and coming “smart gun technology” of military guns and current civilian guns for sale. Our enemies may not respect us, but by gosh, before it is over they will sure respect our military’s new weapons.

Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) Military snipers are often faced with difficult tasks and extreme environmental challenges. Snipers need to be accurate and able to connect with a moving target. For snipers, each shot fired that doesn’t take out the mark is a risk, a risk to himself and his fellow soldiers. Soldiers have access to great guns, but a switch that enables them to be automatic is one of the main differences between the guns of the military and the guns for sale available to civilians. That is all about to change.

The Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) system has the goal of allowing the sniper to fire at a greater distance, and to provide faster contact with the target. The EXACTO program’s goal is to develop the very first guided small-caliber bullet with a longer range and faster speed. The EXACTO .50 caliber BMG round and optical sighting technology provide significantly extended range, day or night, and is far superior to the most advanced current sniper systems. The system combines a bullet with a real-time guidance system to track and deliver the projectile to the target. The bullet is capable of adjusting its trajectory during flight to circumvent and correct for any interfering factors that would otherwise result in a missed target. I seriously doubt you will be finding this system in any civilian guns for sale. Phase II involved the development of the systems technology, while phase III will provide live-fire test and technology refinement to enhance and improve performance.

The Battlefield Optical Surveillance System The Battlefield Optical Surveillance System (BOSS) was developed for DARPA by the U.S. Air Force’s Phillips Laboratory, and is a HMMWV mounted laser surveillance and deterrence system. It was developed to detect and to deter hostiles. Its advanced sensors can detect a sniper, day or night before he has ever fired his weapon, and provides a high resolution image. Acoustical detection may be developed and added at a later time.

British Technology

The British military scientists are developing an electrical armor that uses electricity to repel rockets, shrapnel and other damage inducing projectiles. The technology utilizes super-capacitors into a vehicles armor where the energy of the super-capacitor is discharged onto the vehicle’s exterior metal plating when an incoming threat is detected by the vehicle. This discharge produces a powerful electromagnetic field, repelling incoming threats. Currently the “force field” only lasts for milliseconds, with the super-capacitor recharging in an unspecified amount of time.

The Iron Curtain

DARPA has also developed its own protection system called the “Iron Curtain”. It operates by detecting incoming fire and projectiles and destroying it just before it reaches the vehicle resulting in less damage than if the object had impacted.

DARPA Robotics

Robotics is another field DARPA is active in, from the development of the Legged Squad Support System (LS3) to carry heavy equipment for troops, to the development of robots to work in man made disaster for human extraction using tools (I like to call them rescue robots), to the expectation that within the next few decades robots will likely replace 25% of total soldiers.

DARPA researchers are active in many things, their website lists human-machine interfaces under the Biological Technologies Office among other projects. They are also working on prosthesis that will not only provide a functional limb for amputees. but a limb that can provide the amputee with the ability to “feel”. The military’s always had a hand in fueling advances in battle technologies to benefit our military, advance the objectives and provide advantages that not only save lives but win the war.

Guns for sale to the public have usually been based upon firearms that were first developed for the military. DARPA isn’t all about war, intelligence and bioscience technologies, but also rescue technology, medical advancements, national security and it is a good bet that if DARPA isn’t already developing technologies to deal with extinction event asteroids, that one day they – or someone like them will be. For all of our advances in medicine over the past 50 years, medical research remains underfunded and undermanned, leaving modern medicine not as progressive as science tends to be in other areas. There still remains a great deal that is unknown within the human body, leaving uncharted territories to be explored, much as there are in space. In the end, perhaps the greatest mysteries are as much of those lying within ourselves, as it is those lying outside of our world.
