New Army Truck is Unstoppable

The High Energy Laser Mobile Demonstrator (HEL MD) can hit 90 incoming mortar rounds and UAVs with a 10 kW laser. The test the vehichle went through a broad target set for the system’s target acquisition system, considering the wide variability of target velocities, maneuverability and radar signatures.  As part of the planned enhancement the supporting thermal and power subsystems will also be upgraded to support the increasingly powerful solid-state lasers, according to USASMDC/ARSTRAT officials. They said these upgrades will increase the effective range of the laser or decrease required lasing time on target. Unfortunately there is no video footage that is yet out as its a secret governized military weapon.

Do Now 1/2

2013 was a great year! I had my first job, graduated middle school and been through life experiences that I've never been through before. For 2014, I want to practice more for basketball and football and eat healthier to workout. I also want to improve my study skills to do better on tests and quizzes. Can't wait to have a fresh start for 2014!

NASA unveils Valkyrie, a 6-foot 2-inch, 275-pound rescue robot. The 'bot, the winner of the DARPA Robotics Challenge, a contest designed to find the life-saving robot of tomorrow, will soon undergo a test to see if it can perform tasks like climbing a ladder and using tools. Valkyrie uses its three-fingered hands to manipulate objects, and it's loaded with cameras and sensors so it can eventually operate as autonomously as possible. Hopefully, this turns out to be a great device to help us with space exploration and more.
