Matrix Movie e1335539992862 US Army To Have Magic Bullets That Loiter In Midair
US Army is working on an absurd idea of making a warhead that is non-lethal and hangs in the midair before it finds its target, which also means once it finds its target it won’t kill him. Sounds strange, what would be the benefit of this warhead then.

All the same, the new weapon will be a modification of Lethal Miniature Aerial Munition System (LMAMS) that is recognized as “Magic Bullet” by the Army, and it should be “capable to acquire a man-size target at the system’s combat range, in less than 20 seconds, flying at an altitude of 100 metres above ground…(and) If conditions for attack are not met, LMAMS will be able to loiter over the target for up to 30 minutes.”

The Army itself is unsure about its conception of new warhead, and asks small businesses to ponder about “mechanical, such as rubber balls; acoustic; chemical; electrical; or dazzle.” But one thing it is sure about is the broader applications of the weapon as it can help “crowd control for local law enforcement; border protection for Homeland Security; or temporary incapacitation of non violent criminals for local SWAT teams and/or law enforcement.”

The development of the required weapon would require profound research in the non-lethal materials that would fit in small volume and weight less.

This is one of those concepts that are set far in future, but who knows for real when such magical bullet will be loitering in front of us.
