Sniper bullets which hone in on targets
Might be helpful for people like Chris Kyle, god rest his weary soul.
Christopher Scott Kyle was a United States Navy SEAL and sniper. (four tours in Iraq?) yep!

Making superhuman soldiers
Coming soon to a battlefield near you: DARPA has developed an incredible exoskeleton - a wearable mobile machine - which transforms any infantryman into a super soldier.
If this becomes operational, then count me in. I've always wanted to be a super soldier.

-----------------------
Terminator robots which could destroy humanity
However, AI has its critics, who warn that turning over the work of military analysis to machines creates the risk of a Skynet-style computer which could turn its considerable knowledge and power against humanity.
Dangerous, imo. It's bad enough that robots are now making our hamburgers.
-----------------------
Fake limbs controlled by the brain and super-people
Other DARPA research projects include the creation of prosthetic limbs with the full range of movement of the real thing.
Geoff Ling, a neurology ICU physician, has even developed a mind-controlled prosthetic arm which the wearer controls with their thoughts.
Can't help but to think of soldiers who have lost limbs, in any hellhole where Americans fight.
===============
Turning insects into weapons
DARPA aims to achieve this by deliberately infecting insects with engineered viruses and mutations which can then be passed on to plants to make them hardier or resistant to biological attacks.
Insect Allies involves new technologies that potentially could be used, in theory, as a novel weapon (in this case, using infected insects to cripple a rival’s crop supply).
Geeeezzz, I hope our enemies don't get this first.
============
Yup, as soon as they say this - ".....But the program manager told the Washington Post that almost all new technologies are capable of being weaponised. “I don’t think that the public needs to be worried,” he added. “I don’t think that the international community needs to be worried.” ......" THAT IS WHEN I GET WORRIED.
=========================
Human experiments to create better brains
DARPA program manager Doug Weber.
He explained to The Atlantic that when scientists put electrodes in the brain, those devices eventually fail—after a few months or a few years, mainly because of blood leakage.
Oh, great, just what I want: blood leakage. As much as I want a better brain, I don't want it to start bleeding a few months after I get it.
======================
Preventing nuclear threats on American streets
(NUKE SNIFFERS?) OK.
DARPA’s SIGMA program was developed with the goal of minimising casualties in the event of a worst-case scenario: a nuclear or radiological attack against the United States.
Thanks, De.
