Please tell me its a liberal holding a stick of TNT being shot out of a canon, dropped from a plane, or attached to the top of a missile.

Could spin off some good materials engineering advances useful in civilian applications.

Does that mean we are going to finally have hand grenades like we see in the movies? You know, the atomic ones that produce huge balls of flame and make people fly through the air?

This might be interesting but I never read anything with a cartoonish headline like BOOM! I guess it just makes me think of Adam West and Batman............and a real lack of imagination.

The army does not invent anything. They just send ridiculous specs to their vendors. The vendors do all the inventing. And all their inventions have huge price tags.

Probably don't have to worry which way the wind is blowing when its fired.
And probably can be fired from existing artillery pieces.
That nuclear canon system was quite recognizable moving around, and could be easily targeted at any time, especially when being set up.
To: devane617
I’m wondering... doesn’t a long range round like this depend on our satellize and battlefield electronics planes for accurate spotting, so it can be delivered where its needed?
To those who know, and can talk a little from their vantagepoint, how dependent is precision weaponry on global electronic information, and how vulnerable is that? I’m thinking about the recent news that the Russians have satellites in tracking orbits behind some of our satellites. Does ASAT warfare negate the advantage here?
