I get what you're saying and it's possible.

I just take a look at the R&D projects that have come to light over the years, and they're all derivations of stuff we've seen before.

The bombs get bigger but are still bombs. The missiles get more precise but are still missles. The planes get stealthier and more agile but are still planes.

You can pretty much draw a straight line at how the American Military/Industrial complex develops technologies over the past 60 or 70 years. It's also why I think Corso is full of crap - night vision goggles have precursors pre-rosewell, as do fibre optics and everything else.

The real revolution in our times has been information science - what Vallee sometimes calls by it's old name, informatics. And in that field, I still think what we see in the commercial applications far, far outstrips what we see in military or even SIGINT use. That's just economics. SIGINT now follows the industry instead of drives it, in my opinion.

And the new data tech isn't military spec'd out, anyway. Much of what we do is done in the cloud, virtual or private. Hard to hardlink assets in the field to a cloud when your network can go away. The processors that drive the F-22 are slow as hell, they're just hardened and redundant as priorities instead.

[QUOTE="marduk, post: 268354, member: 989"] I get what you're saying and it's possible. I just take a look at the R&D projects that have come to light over the years, and they're all derivations of stuff we've seen before. The bombs get bigger but are still bombs. The missiles get more precise but are still missles. The planes get stealthier and more agile but are still planes.
