Batman Joins The Air Force
|
A military program named for and inspired by the superhero Batman is bringing together advanced technologies to equip U.S. Special Forces soldiers for the 21st century.
Started by the Air Force in 2004, BATMAN -- short for Battlefield Air Targeting Man-Aided kNowledge -- aims to modernize the gear that commandos take with them on covert missions.
"In the earliest stages when we were coming up with a name for the program, we were perceived as having a lot of gadgets," said Reggie Daniels, BATMAN program engineer at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. "[Batman's] devices allow him to have an advantage. That is what we're trying to do."

Fittingly, the motto of the program is "lighter, smarter, deadlier."
WWJD?
What would a JDAM do? Likely make a big mess ...
