Interesting Info from my pal Mike

It wasn't too long ago that the Air Force was considering putting the A-10
Warthog out to pasture. Now, not only has the "Hog" received a significant
upgrade -- to the tune of $300 million -- but it is considered one of the
most effective fighters on the Iraqi campaign.

HURT (heterogeneous urban reconnaissance, surveillance and target
acquisition) technology is putting UAVs to good use -- allowing a soldier to
personally control unmanned aerial vehicles and gain valuable intelligence
in urban battle situations.
