the best way to hit an elusive target is to hide a weapon inside enemy territory ahead of time.

Hmm. I always thought these were called "mines." I guess this would be a smarter version?

Yes. In 10-20 years, the mines will be smart enough to exchange sensor readings with each other and coordinate an attack. Can you imagine an entire division getting ambushed at one time?

In Star Craft (a game) they called them "spider mines". You'd plant one and when someone went near it it sprung out the ground and ran after you finally exploding.
