DARPA Wants Millions To Design An Unmanned ‘Flying Gun’ Under Its New Gunslinger Program
Budget documents describe a gun-armed "missile" that would be able to engage multiple targets, either on the ground or in the air.

Late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen helped develop the modular system for use in worst-case scenarios after the 2014 West Africa Ebola outbreak.
Even though it is still flying, the F-117's days are finally numbered, but at least some have been set aside for potential display in museums.
One of the biggest air combat exercises is underway at Andersen Air Force Base on the island of Guam and it even looks impressive from space.
We can talk about youthful retiree Littoral Combat Ships, the B-1B's twilight years, geopolitics, wacky eVTOL drones—you know, no big whoop.
The B-1 was never designed for perpetual combat operations and it hasn't aged gracefully. Now major limits are being put on how and when they fly.
The Air Force has fielded 2,700 of the guns, which give fighter jet and bomber pilots extra firepower if they have to bail out over hostile territory.
The exotic and somewhat mysterious unmanned aircraft was spotted undergoing testing at Mojave Air And Space Port in California.
The Pentagon says there's no other "feasible option" to ensure Delta Force and SEAL Team 6 can adequately train to raid these kinds of hardened sites.
Other aircraft took part in the operation, as well, which makes a notable surge in the Chinese military's involvement in the response to the epidemic.
U-2s are notoriously challenging to land under the best conditions. A loss of key mechanical systems would make doing so even more complicated.
A widely circulated report concludes that a new airfield near a luxury resort is a Chinese outpost, but the evidence is far from conclusive.
Russian troops were also present at the time, underscoring just how complex things are for American forces in the country.
Officials decided to try this approach to help contain a fire spreading at a military training range that is threatening nearby communities.
The dramatic video may serve as yet another warning of America's glaring short-range air defense gap and the threat that low-end enemy drones pose.
The Navy's goal is to design a submarine that is better-optimized for attacking other ships and subs than its existing Virginia class boats.
The Air Force will focus on a different hypersonic weapon, using a more complex boost-glide vehicle for its warhead, for its B-52 bombers.
These are exceptionally young ships to be pulled from service, underlining just how problematic and useless they truly are.
This is our first good look at the kind of activity, especially off the East Coast of the United States, that the US military has been warning about.
The technology could lead to new and improved ballistic missile designs with greater reliability, flexibility, and added range.
