I just love DARPA. One of their latest ventures is essentially a handheld cruise missle.
CCLR will be a hand-held, tube-launched, command-guided, loitering cruise munition, that will provide the warfighter unprecedented ability of non-line-of-sight target prosecution in urban environments. CCLR will extend the range of engagement of a dismounted warfighter from line-of-sight. This expanded engagement zone will reach over and around buildings, onto rooftops, and into open building portals.So, what we're talking about here is giving individual soldiers their own little cruise missle/recon UAV that can give them a bird-eye view of the situation, and attack whatever they see. Cool.
