Anybody with their eye on technology has known that sooner or later, someone was going to make a "real" ED-209.
Sure enough, the US Navy has gone quite some ways down the path.
I have to wonder if the developers are thinking in terms of Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics when they are developing the software systems behind these devices?

Well, not to worry, it's not a true robot, not yet anyways. I'm more worried about the unseen operator(s) at the control stick. Who knows, maybe they'll be hopped up on 'speed' like their fighter pilots and equally trigger happy...not a pleasant thought.

I'm not sure that makes me feel any better - especially not having read Ender's Game...
Interesting, I'll have to read it now. Been a while since something has tweaked my interest.
