scrambler Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 Yeah, baby. Hacktismo Can't wait for the civilian application of these experimental military research projects. Imagine being about to climb immediately after hitting a ledge. Or climbing beyond 5.14d (or 5.15c depending on who you believe). Quote
scrambler Posted September 8, 2003 Author Posted September 8, 2003 No, but this is much better. Here are some examples of DARPA 'Human-enhancing' schemes: The 'Metabolic Dominance and Engineered Tissue' program is aimed at being able to artificially pump up soldier endurance and muscle strength. The 'Persistence in Combat' program is a bizarre self-treatment scheme which would include pain-reducing and blood-stopping devices and techniques soldiers would apply to their own wounds -even moderately severe ones- thereby bypassing the need for a medic and enabling a soldier to keep fighting, despite serious wounds! Yep, just keep on runnin' through the jungle on that broken leg or with that bullet in the gut! Once that pain-obliterating electrode in your brain is activated, you won't feel a thing! The 'Continuous Assisted Perfomance' program hopes to find biotechnological ways (implants, metabolic manipulation, etc) to make it possible to push exhausted soldiers on without loss of performance for up to seven days without sleep.
