Pentagon to trigger cyber-insect combat!

The idea seems to be scooped straight out of the Matrix. The Pentagon's

cyborg bugs

defense scientists at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency

(DARPA) are planning to insert micro-systems into insects at the pupa

stage and built a cyber-insect army to track explosives and data. The

cyber-insects will be controlled remotely.

The concept can give 100% foolproof results only if in stead of live

insects, robotic insects are used to track down information. It'll not

be easy to control the insects and direct them to the predefined area

to do a planned job. They may go astray in search of food, as happened

in an earlier project.
