		<description><![CDATA[In case you haven’t seen this, the Air Force is flying F-16s on biofuel derived from the camelina plant. Yup, years after the air service certified most of its aviation fleet to fly on coal-derived synthetic fuel (stuff that was pioneered by the Nazis and apartheid-era South African governments because no one liked them and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In case you haven’t seen it, Sandia National Labs is working on a self-guided bullet for small arms that can hit targets a mile away. Kinda like a small version of the Army’s Excalibur smart artillery round. The four-inch, dart-like round uses tiny fins and an optical sensor in its nose to follow a laser [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Imagine a weapon sailing over an enemy city or military target and effectively paralyzing all electronics in its wake while causing almost no physical damage? Sci-fi writers and military planners have dreamed of such things for years. The problem is, the electromagnetic pulse often associated with cooking electronic systems is usually generated by the detonation of a [...]]]></description>

This stealthy looking model plane is Lockheed Martin’s concept for what anext-generation super shot take-off and landing tactical airlifter would look like. The four-engine plane (though I only see two in these pictures), called the Speed Agile Concept Demonstrator, is Lockheed’s [...]]]></description>

But it turns out the place he selected to design and build the bomb – now grown into the major Los Alamos National Laboratory – is over a fault line. That piece of info was dropped almost in [...]]]></description>

After more than two decades of research, scientists at Los Alamos National Lab last month demonstrated the technology, known as a Free Electron Laser, needed to generate a one megawatt beam that could [...]]]></description>

But despite meth dealers caught with classified info, despite the barely-armed guards patrolling the Livermore Lab, despite the short-cut security drills at Oak Ridge, and despite the faked investigations at Sandia — not to mention that pesky reporter who waltzed right into [...]]]></description>

The AP has this article on a drug raid at a New Mexico trailer park, which turned up classified documents from the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).

In this post, I’ll review where RRW stands today, and touch briefly on some of the political dimensions of the debate over the program.
