DARPA’s Maple leaf Remote Control drone takes first flight (video)

After five years behind locked doors, researchers at Lockheed Martin’s Intelligent Robotics Laboratories in New Jersey have emerged with a working prototype of the “Samarai,” a tiny DARPA-commissioned surveillance drone. The nano air vehicles (NAVs), modeled after falling Maple leaf seeds, are designed to be super light weight and agile for vertical lift off, hovering, and navigation in tight spaces

Lockheed Martin’s SMSS autonomous vehicle wins Army competition, ships off to Afghanistan (video)

The US military’s fleet of unmanned vehicles may soon get some extra support, now that Lockheed Martin’s Squad Mission Support System (SMSS) has received the Army’s official blessing. Designed to support infantry squads or special ops forces, the company’s autonomous craft was recently crowned the winner of the Army-sponsored Project Workhorse Unmanned Ground Vehicle competition, after more than a decade of development. Measuring 11 feet in length, the SMSS is capable of transporting more than 1,000 pounds of equipment over rugged terrain, and features a set of onboard sensors that can automatically track individuals by recognizing their 3D profiles

Cam-wielding RC car used to investigate roadside bomb, saves lives in Afghanistan

The US military spends billions of dollars each year beefing up wartime tech , but a low-budget hacked RC car recently served as an unlikely hero, saving six soliders’ lives in Afghanistan. The home-built rig, which included a wireless security camera mounted on a Traxxas Stampede remote-controlled truck, cost about $500 when it was built in 2007.

Wireless snooping WASP drone knows you want extra jalapeños, no sliced tomato

This fearsome contraption is the handiwork of a couple of amateur DEFCON-types who reckoned that any self-respecting spy plane ought to be able to impersonate cellphone towers. And that’s exactly what the Wireless Aerial Surveillance Platform does — it tricks AT&T and T-Mobile handsets into connecting to it, then re-routes the incoming calls via VOIP so they don’t drop, while simultaneously recording all conversations to 32GB of onboard storage.
