  • Science advances really fast when it's about killing people. This should be enough to make anyone who defends the "invisible hand" of the market realize that we can't only think in terms of profit.

    La ciencia avanza realmente rápido cuando se trata de matar. Esto debería ser suficiente para hacer a cualquiera que defiende la "mano invisible" del mercado darse cuenta de que no podemos pensar solamente en términos de ganancia.

  • YEAH WE'RE THE MILITARY!!!  WE'RE SO FUCKIN COOL!

  • I love the idea of calling in air support for two people in a room somewhere.

  • people will learn when war video games aren't cool anymore.

  • The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus said "War is the father of all things."

  • if just for two terorist you blow the bilding thats bad a good training

  • Vid is shit

  • It wouldn't be long before the government used the same technology to spy on us. 

  • fake and gay

  • i bet that technology will be yoused to look at some hot chic in the shower =)

  • 00:1 so cool

  • yep thats how it goes new technology new ways to kill

  • yeah too bad they couldn't use that 33 million for some better video editting.

  • taliban: OMG ZERG RUSH!!

  • I wonder, if someone we're to bomb my home, kill my family, and I pick up a gun...  would I too be called a terrorist?

  • @COAKD1

    yep that's usually how it works.

  • RC-XD?

  • RX-XD?

  • Oops they killed the prisoners of these terrorist as well..

    That reminds of that other video, where a helicopter in Iraq killed journalists..

  • (sarcasm mode)I love how they can put so much text on the screen without actually saying anything.(/sarcasm mode) Forget the slogans, folks, tell us about how this'll be implemented. Also, was anyone else wondering how (or if) they'd get the 'bots to minimum safe distance before the fireworks started?

  • Somewhere, many generations ago::

    "Okay fellows. What's on the agenda this year? New medical procedures? Nope. An expansion of civil rights? Nah. A new charity to help those in need? Ho-hum Ah, of course! How about some new ways to kill people? Eureka! ."

  • @DigiTan000 to quote someone i can only assume wasn't brittish, "the time for conflict has passed"

  • @DigiTan000

    Most people's lives are unexamined. As such, they aren't worth living.

  • @DigiTan000 If there are people in the world trying to destroy you, then you need to come up with ways to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your society before you can cure cancer.

  • @hxly2 - NEED to?

  • @DigiTan000 Yes, I think so. Much new science and technology are motivated by the military. Thermodynamics came from cannon building. Aviation was marketed to the military long before civilians. Space exploration was motivated from the cold war (Sputnik). Many early computers were designed for cryptography. The Internet was developed by DARPA in part to research network survivability. Newtonian mechanics was motivated by projectile motion. On and on....

  • @DigiTan000 That's why the budget for the DoD is like a thousand times bigger than NASA's...

  • JAJAJAJAJA CUIDADO!  Wikileaks can see you!!!!

  • (whit nostalgia cricits huge voice)

    And so the pip-boys were created.

  • and that's why i bought an electric flyswatter

  • 38million and they make a crap video?

  • @josepheuan09 I was just about to type a comment also saying that for a company developing something so complicated they sure didn't put a lot of effort into their promotional video.

  • I look forward to nuclear genocide of the human species :-)

  • خراط في خراط وهبالة في هباله وشرك في شرك وكفر في كفر واحلام ليسوا ببالغيها ابدا بأذن الله عز وجل

  • WHY THE FUCK are all inventions used for military US army shit? how about using technology for peaceful purposes? humanity does not evolve to kill each other. when will people learn that?

  • @Choppr777 Actually we do, thats the point of evolving, exterminating the rest coz they're lazy asses that don't evolve fast enough

  • @Maaarteh .........

  • @Choppr777 I totally agree with you 200%

  • @Choppr777 because its human nature!!! how do you keep the peace when there are always people who just want to watcch the world burn

  • @Choppr777

    once the last islamic wahabi pig is "cured" (bullet to forehead)

  • @Choppr777 A lot of technology used for non-civilian purposes trickles down into the civilian market. The demands of war have lead humanity to great technological breakthroughs. In the field of medicine, for example, we have malaria pills, the entire emergency medical system, the perfection of blood transfusions and safety belts as the result of wartime needs.

    It is also inaccurate and unfair for you to assume that all American technology is put into our military, or to assume war is worthless.

  • @maomao200

    since the dawn of humanity, the military has brought forth new inventions for civilian use.

  • @Choppr777 As Carl Sagan said over 30 years ago - over 90% of all the scientists in the world - are employed by the military. If your military falls behind - you may be slaughtered by the next guys newest scientific invention!!! THAT is why everybody builds weapons FIRST!

    John Denver suggested that ALL countries be forced to give 1% of their military budget - for research into growing food - to feed the hungry - instead of killing them with your newest bombs!! Naaaah - easier to kill!!

  • @Choppr777 Because the military, which is the government, has the financial and personal network to expand an idea and adapt it for military purposes. Most of the things we use today were developed for the military like, GPS, the Internet. Radar. Once these things have been tested and proven, there are always private corporations that take it and commercialize it.

  • @Choppr777 Because that's the current issue. If we were in peace time, then we would be dealing with how to help people more. We are in war, and we are trying to get the war over with as fast as possible so that we can help more people down the line, and not prolong the pain and suffering of war.

  • @Choppr777 Humans will never stop killing each other :O

  • @Choppr777

    Somewhere when they were teaching children about the natural world and how survival of the fittest and evolution worked, you missed that class. No one freaks out when an herbivore destroys COUNTLESS amounts of individual plant-life to sustain itself. Sad fact of reality: Yes, you have to kill to survive, that is why you are alive.

  • @Choppr777 ...wait...what?...the Human Nature when brought down to its ID (basic knowledge and hunger) is basically this: to eat, kill, and have sex....no really..thats it..sorry..cavemen have been doing it as soon as they could walk, and sure, we evolved, but um..we evolved through killing and surviving..when they said survival of the fittest, they weren't really kidding or bullshitting you dude...try again next time ok?..

  • @ZergSwarmling that doesn't mean we have to continue doing so... its like a fat person staying fat cuz they cant be arsed to lose weight because its 'too much effort'

  • @dec20056 well, in some weird way we dont have to, but erm..look around yah, it doesnt look like a lot if ANY human being chooses the whole loving 'peace' side, which is another drive for power...just not a violent type, see, any kind of choice a human being does is a drive for power, a kidn of flaw int eh human design, since we always have this 'gaping hole" in our desires, cant really fill it up.

    and in fact, because of different ideologies, corruption, we have no choice but to kill or die

  • @ZergSwarmling thats cuz the rich fascist are in control, if we had more socialist governments the world would be a better place

  • @dec20056 That's what socialists and marxists want people to believe. But look at what happened with Nazism in Germany, and Communism in the Soviet Union and North Korea.

  • @hxly2 Theyr all communist not socialist...

  • @Choppr777 Because the military has the money to buy the invention first, a freind of mine was working for a chemical company on a sachet about the size of a soy souce holder in pot noodles, that you can drop in impure muddy diesiesed water and within 30 mins the water was more clean than your avarage tap water, think how usefull that would be to aid corps and all the people who dont have access to clean water, but the military bought it first, WTF KIND OF WORLD IS THIS!!!!!!!!! O.o

  • @Choppr777 Because we as a species are fucked in the head.

  • @Choppr777 It's in the nature of humans and pretty much every other creature to fight. Nature has a little thing called competition.

  • @Choppr777 we will inevitably cause our own extinction

  • @Choppr777

    Humanity, and indeed all primates have evolved from killing each other.

  • @Choppr777 you won't be saying that when another nation overtakes you militarily. This is why I laugh at these comments.

  • @Choppr777 But evolution involves survival of the fittest, which implies competition and fighting.

  • @hxly2 Do you really think the fittest in this world would be the one who is part of the nation than kills the most? It doesn't really sound like evolution...

  • @Choppr777 ...the answer is simple and has no redeeming qualities: Killing people is more "profitable" than doing good. Change that equation and we may have a chance to evolve humanity into something worthwhile.

  • They should try to 6 pool the Iraqi's.

  • See my videos, we sell these for $1000 each.

  • A nuke would be more efficient.

  • gay drones

  • Hmmm....thats an easy scenerio...i would of tossed a grenade at him when he was takin off the back pack.....simple

  • @jrmydcksn And what're you going to do if there's a family inside? hostages, etc? Or no enemies at all, wouldn't want to waste a grenade now would we?

  • watch?v=BRw7zR9tszQ My experience wiyth a robotic insect drone...

  • What's the point in the mini tank at the start? there's no need for it at all, it drives 4 metres and then shoots spiders and dragonflies out of it's ass and that's his job done for the day.

  • Will never happen. Thanks though 007. Lmfao, what a waste of time this video was to make.

  • very cost effective if possible- :)>

  • It's a a mainly UK company u dumb yanks!

  • hmmm i get the drones but y would an apache luanch a rocket at 2 guys makes no sense

  • LOL... The Pentagon just is not intelligent enough to install these types of soldier saving technologies. They are out there and will probably be used by the insurgents before our troops have a chance with them.

  • @Pkr

    You honestly think insurgents in their cave, trying to squeeze every last bit of their dwindling funds just for AK rounds, are going to overtake the Pentagon in drone-tech?

  • the animation sucks balls... and why the fuck will all the drones look like insects?

    and don t come up with the "nature s design is perfect" shit...

  • @GetTheGr33n Because there small and would be least expected....

  • @GetTheGr33n ..Sorry but that's exactly the the point, insects are perfectly adaptable to robotics

  • while the japanese are testing robots wereing making porrely made avdertisments for robots that arent even close to being made, thats the good old US of A

  • if you can make insects under our control maybe they can solve our bee problem.

  • So they're sending in extremely expensive nano computers to get blown to shit by a helicopter?

  • Also keep in mind that it's possible that innovations of this type can reduce civilian casualtites on the battlefield, scout and ensure that potential targets are devoid of innocent bystanders, etc.

  • @Zellig That's the main issue here, the terrorists ain't stupid - they surround themselves with innocent civilians and mingle with the local communities. The most dangerous place for a terrorist is when he is there all by himself. By that time, the CT forces can move in and eliminate the isolated target.

  • what a shit !!!

  • super xtreem spider

  • until you deploy those robots, those enemy will already killed you and get your stuff and use it against you lol... summary: useless... make an aimbot instead of these stuff and get headshot always so you can get a k/d ratio of over 9000!!!

  • wow when is this tv show coming out

    is it the seqeul to power rangers or somthin lol

  • I don't think this idea is a bit ridiculous tbh. Why build silly looking spider drones when you have drones that can hover and you can attach guns to them.

  • @yreath

    nomopoly talks so casually about death of others? '0.01 %of our troops' he says !

    none of his brothers, sons or uncles 'over there'? or in that 0.01%? well, after nuking any place on earth , his chances of dying from the affects of nuclear fallout will considerable 'improve', his worries of dying from flu would be gone.

    or maybe he has an ass big enough to suck in all the radioactive fallout, save the humanity?

  • @capt-wash-a-baby,

    you(?) did such a 'good job' in Iraq, people are 'longing' for that 'homicidal maniac' !

    so where does that 'relativity' puts bush and his admin in?

    over one million dead !economy in tatters, electricity, water, hospitals, schools,jobs? people living in the shadows of abu ghuraib, blackwater (now ex sevices?, meaning: want to call or add ex- to someone's name, call their service. appropriate name : murder incorporated) .

    moral: learn from history, otherwise repeat it.

  • Most of you guys all believe too much newspaper propaganda and lies. Those that do not have a position they can defend will always resort to name calling. If you believe a bunch of arabs can get the whole NORAD air defence to stand down while they hijack and fly those jets into buildings, then you've got a lot of shit to unlearn. Grow up, and by the way, wakey wakey.

  • That's terrific: a vendor produces an animation of what should happen. Gosh, with that product we could have lost the war in Iraq in 8 days, rather than 8 years.

  • What war did we lose in Iraq fuckmook? Last I checked democracy is working quite nicely with Kurdish, Shite and Sunni's working together to decide their own instead of having their life dictated to them by a homicidal maniac. Moreover, we first invaded Iraq in 2003. It's now 2009. That's 6 years asshat so not only are you a defeatest shitbag but you're also a fucking stupid as a doorknob.

  • They already have cyborg flying bugs...it's just a matter of time before they can perfect it.

    Man we have some fucking geniuses in this country.

  • start making armored cores already so we can cut through all the shit.

  • DUCK AND COVER

  • Bae? Ive been there.. :D

  • INVENTORS MUSTconcentrate on producing quality technology,that enhances our way of life-NOT DESTROY IT-

  • Well we can't focus on producing quality technology that enhances our way of life unless we are able to protect our way of life in the first place.

    If it wasn't for atom bomb technology you would be speaking Japanese or German right now.

  • Its so ironic actually...

    1. Russians saved your asses from hitler.

    2. Ein Stein was german.

    3. And you bombed Japan without reason killing milions of inocient ppl including childs and womens ... well yeah you are so great at... being fat and stupid, americunts

  • Russians defeated the Germans but they did not "save our asses". We could have simply atom bombed Germany too if we had to.

    Einstein was German...ok this is true...how is this relevant?

    We bombed Japan in Hiroshima and Nagasaki because they would not surrender by any means. It would have cost more lives to fight a ground war.

    By the way, the Japanese killed far more Chinese in WWII than both the atom bombs combined.

    Patton wanted to invade Russia...and we could have done it.

  • Einstein invented the atom bomb u tard without german power minds u was unable to nuke japan and kill all those ppl without reason... and japanese killed the chinese coz they were fighting a war, not coz they wanted to test how their weapons work like you did in hiroshima and nagasaki

    and usa is unable to invade russia, ur pussies and russia is a bad ass country, one piece of sand in your faggy m-16 and ur done... but ak-47 is on a whole different level !

  • LOL wow your stupidity amazes me.

    First of all, Einstein did not invent the nuclear bomb.  J. Robert Oppenheimer, an American scientist, led a group of scientists in developing and inventing the bomb.

    We bombed the Japanese because we were at war with each other.

    Patton wanted to invade Russia and I am certain that had his wishes been granted we would have won. The U.S. has the most powerful military in the world that has ever existed.

    Our technology is far superior than Russia's.

  • Still you remain a country populated with mexicans and niggers from space of aids-africa... so yeah you are so advanced in technology you legalized the gay marriage :D

  • you stupid piece of sht.. fuck with the USA and see what happens to you..we are the the undisputed experts at modern war technology..our diverse gene pool enables a creative ingenuity found among no other people on earth..the very word technology is an AMERICAN invention..you inbred hypocrites will always be playing catch up to us..we are the sword arm of the masters of this world..your kind will never be able to stand against us...if you manage to pose a serious threat to us..we will end you..

  • You know that Brits have cerated your shitty country, niggers have populated it, and jews control it, right ? :D

  • @berjah1 the word "technology" is from latin. dipshit

  • These fuckers want people to fear ordinary insects too? I think thats a bit too evil considering that insects are very important for mankind....

  • MGS4 lol

  • What a waste of time and money. Get a real job BAE systems.

  • Nice strategy to flush out terrorists.

  • If technology were really effective , terrorists would have been vanished within day or two. Its been 9 years already, 'terrorists" are still there , and what it proves that there are more terrorists now then before n that this sort of technology is failed, .... U may win the "battle" but u can't win the "War" with technology. and this sort of over confidence brought us to the brink of bankruptcy now. heyy u can't win hearts and minds with this fancy technology tat means you can't win the War

  • It's not the first time military technology has failed; in the Vietnam war the us introduced the F4 phantom and believed that it's radar & BVR missiles made dogfighting obsolete.

    It was an almost complete flop, the BVR missiles being almost innefective against fighters... If the majority of the us pilots hadn't been veterans then the F4s wouldn't have stood a chance against the more agile opposing craft which possessed lower stall speeds.

  • We've already won the war in Iraq. In Afghanistan we can too if Obama doesn't fuck it up. Both of the countries now have democracies too. We are now just trying to strengthen them now.

  • @nomopoly What war are you talking about? Last I checked the freedom fighters/terrorists (remember - perspective) are still giving your oh, so valiant soldiers a hard time, not to talk about the TONS of democracy you successfully shipped in that really caught on, you know with a freaking OCCUPYING FORCE and all. Please, read a real newspaper, stop watching fox news, open your eyes and ears and PLEASE stop being such an american stereotype.

    //R

  • @Yreath the wars i'm talking about are iraq and afghanistan. We defeated both of their standing governments in a few weeks. that's winning a war. our goal NOW, after successfully winning the war is setting up a democratic govt. in a country where people are mostly illiterate.

    Sure we could bomb the hell out of them and leave. repeat our bombing when they start shit again.

    we set the bar high here in the u.s. by setting up new governments in foreign lands

    you're in denial.

  • @nomopoly "that's winning a war"? You're saying you've won? Have you heard of vietnam? You DO know this situation is very similar, right? America may be able to make a government surrender, but not a people, and that's who's fighting you. You've haven't won shit.

    Yeah, you set the bar very high in the US by replacing old governments with newer, better ones who are friendly towards you instead of just letting people mind their own business. Well, acually, the US fails at that too.

    //R

  • @Yreath Iraq and Afghanistan are not at all like Vietnam LOL what are you smoking? What a mere ~5,000 deaths in 2 wars over a time span of 9 years? That is nothing!!! Maybe .01% of our troops? I have a greater chance of dying from the flu than dying in iraq and afghanistan.

    We would let people mind their own business if they stopped fucking with us, but that comes from being top dog in the world.

    If we REALLY wanted to end the war we could easily nuke them...but we are too compassionate

  • @nomopoly And what about the civilian casualties? You know, the acual victims?

    Oh, and remind me once more, HOW was iraq "fucking" with you?

    And no, you could not nuke anybody. They are not intended to be acually used and if some supid american did nuke someone it would cause an international incident.

  • @Yreath LOL ok now you're going off on tangents.

    Most civilian casualties are caused by the stupid iraqis themselves who slaughter each other and torture based on whether they're sunni or shiite. But it's not as bad as it used to be. Sure we could have left, after winning the war, but we are too compassionate and don't want to see them kill each other.

    Sadaam was too fucking arrogant with us. People like Amadenjad, Chavez and Kim Jong are like him too. they will see their demise

  • ......whos your fav artist?

  • Uh, yeah, that usually is the definition of wining the war, destroying the other government. You don't mass murder everyone in the entire country. And losers don't usually like the winners of wars afterwards...

  • What occupying force you delusion fucktard? Iraq is now policing itself. Just as was done in Germany and Japan we are removing the bulk of our forces and leaving a small contingent force there as agreed to by the plan authored by BUSH. Bombings will always occur in the Middle East so long as there are TERRORISTS (no moral relativism here thank you) willing to force others to live under the stringent Sharia laws they live by. Why do I even bother? You're so deluded it's not worth the effort.

  • Comment removed

  • when are these pricks going to stop working out innovative ways to kill people and research something that actually benefits mankind?

    Peace

  • There are far more applications than warfare to a dynamic mutli-agent system.

  • So protecting our country is a bad thing now?

  • @TheWorkersUnited bc its way easier to destroy something than create it, sadly

  • @TheWorkersUnited Hey now population control will help mankind! I do agree with the sentiment though.

  • @TheWorkersUnited Peace through war.

  • @TheWorkersUnited Lots of military technology eventually gets filtered to civilian use, like the INTERNET, GPS, and radar.

    This robot technology, for instance, has TONS of uses in the civilian sector. Are you so stupid as to not realize that?

  • they've already made that first robot

  • a bit of wind nd thats a coupla million down da drain

  • When they're made i'll think all insects are spying on me, and they are all secretly government perverts.... and that what most people would think...

  • Stop arguing, you know the best they have are drone - flies that explode when swatted...

  • I bet the u.s. does have bee's with camera's on them

  • or do they?

  • The US Army are Cheater :D:D

    But funny tricky...

  • yes sir i think valjeanxx is probably onto something there, ever had a dragon fly just hover and check you out? even follow you around.. they have been working on this type of stuff since the fiftys!!

  • According to Daily Week they are now using drone BEES to get these guys!

  • yeah the whole bug this is not gona work they are gona have to use snakes or maybe like a monkey kindof but the insect... that wont work u know how much trubble thats gona be to fly those in regular wind

  • Robot smurfs, they are so cute the terrorists would pick them up, then ........BLAMMO... the smurf blows up.

  • what videogame was that from...

  • Rapid transition ... lmao

  • cool

  • He has a pip boy!

  • loool xD

  • this with the drones it's a very good idea, but I hate kill persons and animals =(

  • me too =(

  • folks these things already exist, and theyre being used to spy on the american people. trust me on this one.

  • shit sux

  • 9 out 10 terrorists agree with you.

  • I've seen this movie before. it was called Minority Report.

  • such a pussy way to fight

  • how about we send you into a dangerous building that could possibly kill you. im sure you wouldn't mind right?

  • oh no a niddle haha imagen it

  • niddle looooooooool ...!!!!!!!!!!!

  • imagen it had a niddle where it could inject venom,toxic or poisen

  • they sent in a helicopter 2 take out 2 guys.... pathetic

  • Ohher. How exhilarating to see technology used to kill people ..er... Evil doers! When I see these results, wow, I demand ALL money being wasted on "saving" lives be channelled into this kind of endeavour instead!

    I'm so glad I can tell my kids that the bad old days of human to human conflict is OVER! Now, anyone that is targeted as a bad human can be killed by robots. God bless these robots! God bless the New World Order!

  • Christianity is nonesense, but you're fucking right.

  • Kill bad humans eh..... Well that would not leave many left

  • heh. bae systems. i work for them. welding armored thingeys.

  • wow.. interesting.. someone's been playing to much metal gear.

  • Thats the brave american way!

    ever wandered what may happen if this technology falls into the hands of an evil world leader?

    Oh wait , that already happened didnt it?

    And all this (world police survalience stuff) just means it will be impossible to over throw that leader once they are in power.

  • This came from that movie Minority Report.

  • Far away from any reality...

  • this kind of shit is real dude my friend was in the military! they have this shit!!!!

  • You mean the men and that remote controlled belt robot at the start? Because that is the only part that was remotely real in this clip.

  • i wasnt even talkin about this clip i was talkin about REAL LIFE

  • no really..

  • no it's not lol they already have a snake
