    FCS has been cancelled, thank God.

    I know I took a photo of that turret in Ft Knox in 2001.

        That little UFO type thing looked kinda cool though.
        'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
        'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
        Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
        He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

              There is no troop carrying capacity. The whole point it to automate were possible and preserve personnel.

              I remember seeing something about remote control LSB vehicles.
              Something like our DROPS only completely robotic. Tell it were to pick up and drop and the truck just goes off, does its job and comes home.

              Real cool.

                Gates. Cost. Technical failures and lack of COTS equipment
