US Air Force Blog Assessment Chart

While the US Air Force prepares for infrastructural cyberwarfare with their Cyber Command, they also prepare for informational cyberwarfare with their Emerging Technology Division. That division has drafted a blog assessment chart showing when and how to comment on blog entries.

Yes, you read that right: the Air Force has drawn up rules of engagement for the blogosphere. These guys know the Internet is serious business.

I recommend this handy flowchart to anyone who’s taking a blogospheric beating. The responses it prescribes are far more rational than the excuses and insults most people spout when targeted by angry bloggers.

Lockheed Martin Tests Multiple Kill Vehicle

Someone at Lockheed Martin must be a Gundam fan. Their latest missile defense system, the MKV-L Multiple Kill Vehicle, intercepts multiple warheads using the same autonomous weapon concept as Gundam 00 GN Fangs. All you’d have to do is put lasers on the kill weapons, and they’d be right out of the anime.

The prototype MKV-L recently completed a 30-second hover test at Edwards Air Force Base, tracking a target at 23 feet. If it looks menacing just hovering in midair, imagine how it will look with its kill weapons deployed.
