Israelis invent "Force Field"

[scottperezfox]

Not really Robots, but pretty cool. Once the Robots have Force Fields, it will be a problem...

Holy fucking shit! I wonder how it works. Maybe a laser that zaps the payload and
asplodes it early? Could it be circumvented by moving the payload back a foot or 2?

Kinda cool tech.

Have to admit it's pretty damn impressive. Would be good if it works like they said, and that it can be fitted to helicopters. Now HUAR has to start looking for an alternative means of bringing down the robot threat.

No, Dr. Dan. Robots dont eat gruel, shit, or bleed.
sucka. Glass in their joint-lube, however, might be
effective?

they shoot flak at the incoming projectile. its more like miniature anti aircraft guns run by a real fast computer (see also, robot) with radar.

i trust the isrealis not to let a robot get out of hand. they have a good track record of not taking shit.

First hit on google:

Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) / Booby Traps
IED Overview

An IED can be almost anything with any type of material and initiator. It is a homemade device that is designed to cause death or injury by using explosives alone or in combination with toxic chemicals, biological toxins, or radiological material. IEDs can be produced in varying sizes, functioning methods, containers, and delivery methods. IEDs can utilize commercial or military explosives, homemade explosives, or military ordnance and ordnance components.

They are unique in nature because the IED builder has had to improvise with the materials at hand. Designed to defeat a specific target or type of target, they generally become more difficult to detect and protect against as they become more sophisticated.
