Metal Storm hasn't been in the news in a while. It's not that long ago, however, that everyone was watching videos of their rapid fire technology mounted on UGVs. Yesterday Metal Storm had a demo of it's technology but it's obviously looking for new markets. That's business and good for them if the new markets are there.
"The demonstration was designed to display several technical objectives which included the development of a family of Less Lethal munitions with smart round features; development of an electronic fire control system with targeting and ranging; the acquisition of a man-machine interface; and the integration of the entire system with an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV). Metal Storm met these objectives with an integrated weapon system that provides the operator with several options when responding to a domestic or Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) scenario."
"The system was developed by Metal Storm working with several key technology partners including iRobot who supplied their Warrior UGV platform and TeleRobotics who specializes in networked remotely operated weapons systems."
