#1 So maybe Darpa wants to protect civilian populations from the ravages of natural disasters. But those same tools could be used for military purposes against enemies, suspects one unnamed geoscientist. All of my science is good! tree-hugging comments aside, what this program is probably really about is detecting, targeting, and destroying hard and buried underground facility (UGF) targets, he said.

Well then. No sitting on the bridge to collect data, off to transport and join a survey team. And, by the way, you'll be the one in the red shirt for this mission, mister.

#2 real-time, 3-D maps that display the physical, chemical and dynamic properties of the earth down to 5 kilometer depth.

The Iranians better hope that their underground facilities are more than 5km deep!
