The future of conflict: it's small, smart, fast, precise, unconventional, and death is optional. The main danger facing today's military leaders is preparing to fight the war they want to fight versus the war they are going to fight.

September 11,2001 was a defining day in American history. In a period of a few minutes, the world changed forever. It also portended the necessity for a unique juxtaposition of complimentary weapons systems, non-lethal and hyper-lethal. Now more than ever there is a need to be able separate combatants from noncombatants. Requirements exist to deliver punishing devastation to intended targets wherever they may be and yet control the level of effects on demand.
