It
wouldn't be DARPA without some military application, and DARPA's
vision of the future for the military is too broad to cover here.
However, one particular innovation really caught my attention: they
want to “digitize the squad” by equipping soldiers with remote
sensors to control unmanned drones and robots on the battlefield,
“organically” sharing and collecting information. This would
involve “integrated access to and control of mobile sensors,
including full-motion streaming video, a 3-dimensional common
operating picture, and the ability to organically locate and identify
friendly forces and threat location in near real time.” In summary,
DARPA is trying to turn actual, live combat situations into a video
game that saves actual lives. Keep the people off the battlefield,
and send in the robots!
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
