When the British military developed hunter-killer UAVs knowns as MQ-9
Reapers, reminiscent of those seen in the Terminator series of
movies, you knew it wouldn't be long. According to a UK government IT news
site, Skynet
has gone live with the launch of Skynet 5A, the first of three
satellites that will make up the Skynet miltary communications network.
Skynet 5B will be launched later this year and 5C in 2008. Skynet will
be used to control the UK miltary at home and abroad. According to NORAD,
the Skynet satellites are hardened against impacts and capable of
repelling jamming attacks. And what about those flying hunter-killer
robots? They carry 3,750 lbs of laser-guided missles, smart bombs, and
JDAM munitions. The
Register notes that several of those munitions have already been used
to target individual humans. Don't forget to brush up on your surivial
techniques. For more, see the
Register's story on Skynet.
