MetalStorm
Peter Lucas
Metal Storm and its potential for utilisation in the force transformation
area is featured in similar articles in the current issues of respected US
defence publications Defense News and Marine Corps Times.
In Defense News (Nov 18 issue) “Australian Firm’s Weapon Captures U.S.
Attention”, and the Marine Corps Times (Nov 25 issue) “Weapon of the
Future?”, interviews were conducted with officials from the Pentagon’s Office
of Force Transformation (OFT), Metal Storm President and CEO Mike O’Dwyer,
and Art Schatz, Vice President of Metal Storm Operations. The OFT is headed
by Vice Admiral Arthur Cebrowski (ret).
OFT is looking for new ways to equip the US military for 21st century Network
Centric Warfare. The articles elaborate on Metal Storm systems which are
under development, such as the repeatable access denial system, area denial
weapon system and unmanned combat aerial vehicles.
In Defense News:
In its search for technologies to equip the military for information-age
warfare, the Pentagon’s Office of Force Transformation is looking at weapons
that are digital and modular in nature. Metal Storm Ltd, Brisbane,
Australia, has caught the eye of retired Navy Vice Adm. Arthur Cebrowski, who
heads the Pentagon office.
Quoting one official from OFT: “These systems deliver overwhelming firepower
with amazing precision, but the appeal has to do with the technology’s
unlimited potential in network-centric operations based on two key aspects
they’re digital and they’re modular.”
Comment:
In the above articles, the writer has attributed Metal Storm technology
capabilities to the Predator unmanned aerial vehicle, however the figures
should be attributed to Metal Storm’s concept unmanned combat aerial vehicle.

If that was true, there would be a lot more dead during wars than there

Yes, because we all know that *no* lieutenants in Vietnam were killed by
their subordinates after issuing a stupid order that nearly got people
killed, don't we.
Or how about the French revolting against their officers in WW1, or even
the Russian revolution which you can trace back to WW1 ??

Unfortunately Dassa, it was a comment made by a clueless moron. One of those
that *would* sit there and pray, and do nothing else.

I made a statement that was perfectly true. I have killed *better* people
that that stupid slag danyelle. That makes me sad,upon reflection.
It comes down to the saying "I've learned that the people you care most about
in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just
never go away."
It certainly runs true here.

Killfiling is just a saying Peter, doesn't count as *real* killing

If you have, in fact, killed anyone at all (which I doubt - sounds like
the rambling bullshit of a braggart/coward to me) how would you even
know that they were better people than d ?
Did you sit down and have a deep and meaningful conversation with them
to find out what sort of people they were or something ?
What a complete fuckwit.

You could always come and check it out person, couldn't you? But being the no

Mainly because then everyone would see that you are the pathetic, pimply

How did I know that the *very* old slag and the headjob would be in cahoots??
Because they are of the same mentality maybe??
You *are* a pathetic excuse for an old age pensioner, hag, having to change
your email address so that I would see the overflow from your colostemy bag.
Your self esteem must be at rock bottom for you to keep changing your email
address, knowing full well that you're in my killfile........ where you
rightfully belong.
Maybe you should do us all a favour, and go meet your mate Nancy. I hope you
do.
So...... go on!! Do us all a favour!!
Maybe then when your dead an autopsy can be held to see if ugly *does* go
right to the bone?

I think you missed the story. Here it is again:
Peter Lucas joined the army and signed up with the paratroopers. He went
though the standard training, completed the practice jumps from higher
and higher structures, and finally went to take his first jump from an
airplane.
The next day, he phoned his father to tell him the news.
"So, did you jump?" the father asked.
"Well, let me tell you what happened. We got up in the 'plane, and the
Sergeant opened up the door and asked for volunteers. About a dozen men
got up and just walked out of the 'plane!"
"Is that when you jumped?" asked the father.
"Um, not yet. Then the Sergeant started to grab the other men one at a
time and throw them out the door."
"Did you jump then?" asked the father.
"I'm getting to that. Everyone else had jumped, and I was the last man
left on the 'plane. I told the Sergeant that I was too scared to jump.
He told me to get off the 'plane or he'd kick my arse."
"So, did you jump?"
"Not then. He tried to push me out of the 'plane, but I grabbed onto the
door and refused to go. Finally he called over the Jump Master. The Jump
Master is this great big guy, about six-foot five, and 17 stone. He said
to me, Peter, are you going to jump or not?' I said, 'No, Sir. I'm too
scared.' So the Jump Master pulled down his zip and took his penis out.
I swear, it was about ten inches long! He said, 'Boy, either you jump
out of that door, or I'm sticking this up your arse.' "
"So, did you jump?" asked the father.
"Well, a little, at first............."

STRATOSPHERIC AIRSHIP TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS
ARLINGTON, VA 25 November, 2002: Metal Storm Limited (ASX Code: MST and
NASDAQ Small Cap: MTSX), a pioneer of electronic ballistics technology has
signed an exclusive Teaming Agreement with StratCom International, LLC for
the development and production of specific Metal Storm ballistic products as
they apply to the StratCom stratospheric airship. The Teaming Agreement
recognises several near-term Metal Storm technology applications for the
stratospheric airship, which is a very-high-altitude airborne vehicle,
designed to provide command and control facilities for asset protection and
contains its own integral self defence capabilities.
StratCom was formed by its principal, General James A. Abrahamson, USAF (ret)
to investigate and develop the benefits of stratospheric airships for
military and civil applications. StratCom negotiated an exclusive
arrangement with Lockheed Martin Naval Electronics and Surveillance Systems
(formerly Goodyear Aerospace Division), and has won several contracts with
the US Department of Defense. StratCom’s primary focus is in military
stratospheric airships and telecommunications.
General Abrahamson spent 33 years in the USAF. During his distinguished
military career he was Project Manager for Maverick guided missiles, Director
of the multinational F-16 program, Associate Administrator of Space Flight
for NASA where he ran the Space Shuttle program for three years. He was also
the First Director, Strategic Defense Initiative ‘Star Wars’ program.
In his civilian career General Abrahamson served as Chairman of Oracle
Corporation for three years, was President of Hughes Aircraft Transportation
Sector and also selected as Director, Task Force One for the FAA.
Mike O’Dwyer, President and CEO of Metal Storm said, “The exclusive Teaming
Agreement we have with StratCom is designed to lead to the development and
production of specific ballistic products that can be integrated into
StratCom’s stratospheric airship program. General Abrahamson’s vast
experience in both the military and commercial sector allows us to establish
a cooperative framework to pursue increasingly sophisticated weapon systems
employing Metal Storm technology with StratCom’s extensive stratospheric
airship experience”.
On signing the Teaming Agreement, General Abrahamson said, “I have been
following the progress of Metal Storm’s weapon system technology for some
time and find it to be one of the most exciting ballistic developments with
which I have been associated. Metal Storm’s technology represents a real and
new capability for utilisation in stratospheric airships, particularly for
homeland security and in missile defence and missile intercept systems. It
