An Army Evaluation Task Force Soldier at Fort Bliss conducts training with an unattended ground sensor. Future sensors could be smaller and vanish upon command.
Self-destructing tapes from the "Mission Impossible" TV series and
films served fictional spies well during the Cold War. Today, the U.S.
military wants a modern version of vanishing electronics that are able
to disappear upon command in the environment or a human body.
The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is looking
for such spy craft technology at a time when swarms of electronic
sensors and communication devices already help U.S. troops hunt enemies,
keep track of friendly forces and monitor threats from nuclear,
biological or chemical weapons. Futuristic electronics able to
self-destruct upon command would help prevent devices from falling into
enemy hands and littering the environment.
