anyone remember the video posted a couple of years back, it was a US military thing, that hovered and moved about by firing rockets, but eventually ended up on the ground? was flying about in a cage i think?

anyone remember what it was called or where the video was?

This one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDC4217HHSM

yes! the very one! good man!

Thats is pretty cool!

I can think of a few uses for one

that looks about as useful as a decade hand on a wristwatch.

Seriously, very cool, but what the hell is the point? It's hardly stealthy! *RATATATATATATATATATATATATAA*

i like the name, "multi kill vehicle" hmm, americans...

Its not meant to be stealthy. Its meant to be a deployable, stationery weapons platform that can engage multiple targets while leaving the lead vehicle free to escape.

lol. its bloody terrifying, whatever it is. imagine that coming towards you, unarmed its scary enough, let alone some sort of weaponry.

Wow thats impressive, I love watching stuff like that.

Its a great way to clear a childs ball pen so the adults can have ago aswell!!!

From what I read its not a weapon, but meant more as an anti-missle drone? Fires itself up in the path of missiles? Or did I miss-read that?
The talk about it being a weapon and firing seem to be comments under the video, which are probably written by 14 year old septics.

Still bloody impressive to get that sort of control from a rocket propelled item.

yup- it's for use in space
