#1 They copied a Weyland-Yutani product ;o)

#3 They do sound an awful lot like my fictional military robots in Autonomous Operation.

#4 The spotter UAV disguised as a vulture would be the clincher!

#5 Too big. Think: bees. Or that little glistening beetle crawling along the wall.

#10 Didn't I hear about this same idea proposed for our new "Border Fence" with Mexico?

#11 Nothing so spectacular here. Some additions on the pattern recognition and the speaker, but that is about it. The US has already deployed several hundred remote weapon stations on vehicles (Styker, HMMWV's). The SWORDS system is a remote weapon platform mounted on the TALON robot, which is ready to go although the robotics boys in Hunstville are a bit concerned since it was developed at ARDEC and not JPO. Mapsands is the border system referenced. It too uses remote weapons if the customer so desires (something I strongly encourage of course!)
