DARPA Chief

Remember the DARPA Chief from Metal Gear Solid? Remember how he accompanied Snake on his mission as technological and strategic support? Well, the real life DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) has invented a new device to support our troops in the field.

The Boomerang, a device created to triangulate the sound of gunfire and pinpoint the location of snipers, can be mounted on Humvees to be a techno-watchdog for our troops.

It costs $10,000 per unit and can point out sniper fire in echoey city streets and while in motion—both features not previously available in older units like this one. The price tag seems steep, but the lives of our soldiers are worth infinitely more.

Solid Snake would have been jazzed to have a device like this while on his sneaking missions.
