Array
Gear  |  Military
Currently, the Navy's fastest submarine can only travel at 25 to 30 knots while submerged. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which commissions research for the Defense Department. Electric Boat, the company contracted to design the Underwater Express mini-sub that could potentially transport high-value cargo or small groups of people as fast as 100 knots. The vehicle would travel inside a large gas bubble created in the water, a process known as supercavitation. The bubble reduces drag, since the drag is much lower in air than in water, allowing the vehicle to travel at high speeds. Now this project is enter the testing phase, Electric Boat is woking on a quarter scale model, which if successful, Electric Boat will begin production on a full scale 100-foot submarine.

Gear  |  Military
PSE's TAC-15 crossbow turned the AR-15 rifle into a ultimate killing weapon between crossbow and rifle! Avatar Tonic writes:
"TAC-15 'Tactical Assault Crossbow', the sort of crossbow designed for when aliens invade from another dimension. It actually replaces the upper receiver from an AR-15 so you can swap between assault rifle and crossbow with a little tinkering. The payoff is at the end when they sell you that it comes with a picatinny rail system. For, you know, when you need a grenade launcher on your crossbow."

It The XREP cartridge comes pre-packaged in a shell that is compatible with most existing smoothbore and rifled barrel 12-gauge shotguns. The transparent shell ensures officers properly identify the XREP cartridge prior to loading it in the shotgun.
As the XREP cartridge is deployed, a ripcord attached between the shell and the projectile activates the projectile. Once activated, the XREP projectile is "live" as it comes out of the barrel. The XREP projectile autonomously generates neuromuscular incapacitation for 20 continuous seconds ¨C enough time to close the distance and take the offender into custody without risking injury to officers.

Top-Secret Vessel - Sea Shadow for free now!
Array
Gear  |  Military
Anybody want some top-secret seagoing vessels? The Navy has a pair it doesn't need anymore. One is called Sea Shadow. It was made to escape detection on the open sea. It looks like a floating field house, with an arching roof and a door that is 76 feet wide and 72 feet high. Sea Shadow , 160 feet long and 70 feet wide and comes with 12 bunks, a table, a microwave, a fridge, and a gigantic covered mining barge that the CIA used to keep Sea Shadow protected from satellite surveillance. Sea Shadow berths inside the barge, which keeps it safely hidden from spy satellites. The barge, by the way, is the only fully submersible dry dock ever built, making it very handy -- as it was 35 years ago -- for trying to raise a sunken nuclear-armed Soviet submarine. If It has been trying to give them away since 2006, Sea Shadow (which originally cost nearly $200 million) is going to be scrapped at the end of this year if they don't find a new owner.

Boston Dynamics Big Dog
Gear  |  Military
BigDog quadruped machine can carry more than 300 pounds, walk around for nearly 13 miles on flat ground, and keep its balance after getting kicked around. In other words, it's a pretty decent prototype for a machine that could help carry soldiers' gear, when they're out on a mission. Now Darpa wants an upgraded 'bot that lug 400 pounds on its back, trot for 20 miles in any terrain, and carry enough gas for an entire day's operation. The agency is calling it a generic "Legged Squad Support System," or L3. Watch above video, the BigDog is really cool!

Array
Gear  |  Military
The Auto Assault-12(AA-12) shotgun is world's deadliest shotgun that has a rate of fire of 360 rounds per minute, and uses either an 8-round box magazine (adding 12 ounces to weapon weight) or a 20 round drum magazine (adding 2.5 pounds). Recoil on the system has been reduced to that of a light rifle, due to a sophisticated recoil system. The low rate of fire makes it possible to easily fire bursts of one, two, or three shots and is capable of using and mixing all types of 12 gauge ammunition, from shot to solid slugs, as well as non-lethal rounds.
