DARPA To Unleash Deadly (Prophetic?) Wasps Of War
What can hover,
dash and fly in almost any direction while transmitting sensitive electronic
information on its  whereabouts and surroundings? Here is a hint: Probability
is high that this latest hi-tech gadget will become integral to US national
security in the near future. One might incorrectly answer that this new
gadget is the infamous military drone, the Predator or Reaper Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles (UAVs) that were at one time loaded with missiles and bombs by
Blackwater and then used by the US military to target and kill suspected
terrorists and other insurgents from within Pakistan. However, the answer,
and the latest development funded by the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA), is a flying 'cyborg beetle,' an actual insect that
has been surgically altered so that a human can control its flight direction
and movement. The research and development on these cyborg insects are being
developed by universities and businesses across the US, but is part of a
larger DARPA project titled the Hybrid Insect Micro-Electro-Mechanical
Systems (HI-MEMS) Program. While the project has been running for three
years, much of the time was dedicated to learning how to attach neural
transmitters to the brains and muscles of various insects in order to control
their otherwise natural movements with electronic and radio controls.
