...probably have that if you didn't mind a 2,000# battery back pack. Imagine the energy that thing consumes.

The had this on Future weapons last week.

I wish I had one of these that I could shoot at my neibors kids when they are runig around the parking lot acting like animals.

Now if the military only had a "smart" ray for 60 Minutes reporters...

I'd like to see that used on the anti-war nutbags when they tie up DC traffic with their little parades and marches.

Military: Army's Miniature Spy-Bat Concept Makes Lucius Fox Drool


COM-BAT ............

The proposal is for the bat to be just six inches in length, weigh only four ounces and use just one watt of power, backed by a lithium-ion battery, which could be charged by not just solar energy, but wind energy and random vibrations as well. The bat's intended goal would be to run surveillance ops and relay data in realtime, including sights and sounds from minicams and mini-microphones, but also radiation and poison gas readings.

The UMich grant consists of $10 million over five years, creating the U-M Center for Objective Microelectronics and Biomimetic Advanced Technology (dubbed "COM-BAT"—pun intended). The focus is to shrink down many electronics that while currently available would only be good if the US Army wanted, say, a 12-foot spy-bat. Not too stealthy.

For energy recovery, UMich will work to develop "quantum dot solar cells," making current solar cells twice as nice. The bat's autonomous navi system will be 1,000 times smaller than current systems, and that much more energy efficient too. The comms system will be shrunk to one-tenth the current size, too. You can see how all of this shrinkage will have positive impact outside the bionic-bat community as well.
