That will never sell.  The graphics in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare are much better than that.

I'm starting to worry now.  When soldiers go into a particular combat situation, do all of you go to the wiki's to learn how to fire your weapons?

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.'

On an unrelated note.  The technology of killing bad guys just keeps advancing.  from teh foxnewsdot I am a gay twerker that has no balls!!!!  I also have no idea how to use the quote function to post stories, so I annoy the piss out of others.  I like male genatalia in and around my mouth.


What if grenades could locate threats and detonate all on their own?

A new smart grenade can do just that.  With this grenade, soldiers will know with certainty that it will strike its target.

The U.S. Army is developing the SAGM, Small Arms Grenade Munitions round.

The SAGM is a new kind of grenade that can find an enemy hiding behind an object, a wall or other would-be cover. This is next-generation enhanced grenade lethality.

Why make grenades smart?

When enemies take positions behind, say, low mud walls typical of battle environments like Afghanistan, they can avoid grenade rounds.  In order to most effectively hit a target, soldiers often require a direct line of sight with an M203 rifle-mounted grenade launcher and standard grenades.

A smart grenade could solve this problem.

Just like other “smart” tech that can complete tasks without its user providing instructions, this smart grenade can find its target itself.

When the SAGM is fired, the grenade will recognize its surroundings and the cover used by the enemy for concealment. It then detonates over the target.

The SAGM is an air-bursting grenade and more than doubles the lethality of the current 40-mm grenade against targets that are not directly in a soldier’s line of sight.

The idea is that the 40 mm low-velocity grenade is compatible with the M203 and M320 rifle-mounted grenade launchers used by the Army.

A team at the U.S. Army's Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey is developing the SAGM, beginning its research in 2012. ARDEC’s mission is to develop technology and engineering solutions for America's soldiers.

How does it work?

Using an SAGM, a soldier will not need to do any sort of pre-fire programming sequence. The solider just needs to accurately aim the weapon and fire -- the smart grenade will take care of the rest. While in the air the SAGM will detect walls, without even relying on a range finder. After it passes the wall, the SAGM explodes itself in the air above the target.

To be truly versatile and effective downrange, the SAGM will need to be able to detect and process a wide range of objects people may hide behind. The Army is working on developing a sensor system that will make the SAGM so smart it can do just that.

They’ve made the fuze "smart" by including sensors. The sensors and logic devices scan and filter the environment, detect the obstacle, figure out the best place to detonate and then autonomously airburst the fuze.

The grenade is designed to have three firing modes. The first one is the airburst after it detects the cover where someone is concealed. The next is a default detonation when it hits the target called “point detonation.”  The third mode is a self-destruct feature. This final one is designed to decrease collateral damage and reduce unexploded ordnance left on the battlefield.

The Army has also been developing the XM25 grenade launcher as a direct fire method for these sorts of concealed targets. This weapon uses an on-board laser system to gauge distance to its target. It has a programmable air burst round that determines the distance to its target. The SAGM provides indirect fire.

What’s next?

SAGM is in its third and final phase of development, and is expected to undergo evaluation this summer. It is hoped that the smart grenade will become an official Army program of record this year.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Just like the Army to develope a weapon to support their "spray and pray" mentality. All joking aside, I was disappointed the first time I observed a live grenade. After growing up and seeing the massive explosions they caused on tv, it was a let down. But once you drop one in a trench and just lay there covered up and let it go boom...wow. I wonder how effective it wil be with a mid-air explosion?

Was TDY for 6 months on a test assignment, easiest assignment I ever had, Was testing a tube launched flame thrower. Had 4 pods that fired like a missile. We would test in the morning, that would check test pods late morning and during lunch. Played golf most afternoons as the shit never worked and don't think it made it into the field.

This makes you wonder why we didn't declare a massive line of no mans land between Afshitistan and Pakshitistan and declare anything that moved in there will be destroyed.

These things are cheaper than human lives.

Or maybe the Mexican border.
