#BAE Systems Creates Innovative Communication Device to Assist Armed forces The prototype system is designed to improve soldier safety

transferring messages directly from the soldier helmet to the inner ear. It is being developed as part of Company-funded research which aims to reduce the burden on the dismounted soldier through wearable technology.

Soldiers need to be able to receive audio communications to maximise their awareness and understanding of the challenging environments they are working in,

whilst also protecting themselves from extremely loud noises such as gunfire. To address these conflicting requirements

BAE Systems engineers have adapted existing bone conduction technology often used in commercial headphones and hearing aids for the military domain.

"We recognise that on the battlefield, auditory situational awareness is essential for armed forces personnel. With this system, the soldiers can safeguard their hearing with ear protectors

whilst still clearly receiving military voice communications, to enable them to perform their roles efficiently and safely."

#U s. expected to announce drone registry The U s. federal government will require many drone aircraft to be registered,

Pilot sightings of drones have doubled since last year, including sightings near manned aircraft and major sporting events,

Registration will increase pressure on drone operators to fly responsibly, he said, adding,"when they don't fly safely,

the FAA and the Transportation department are setting up a 25-to 30-member task force including government and industry officials and hobbyists.

They'll recommend which drones should be required to register and which should be exempted, and design a system that would be easy for commercial operators to comply with,

Toys and small drones that don't present a safety threat are likely to be exempt.

Drones that weigh only a pound or two or that can't fly higher than a few hundred feet are considered less risky.

There is no official count of how many drones have been sold in the U s, . but industry officials say it is in the hundreds of thousands

Transportation secretary Anthony Foxx directed the task force to deliver its report by Nov 20. The Consumer electronics Association has forecast that 700,000 drones will be sold this holiday season,

and Foxx said it's especially important that new drone users be taught the responsibilities that come with flying.

Registering drones that could pose safety risks"makes sense, but it should not become a prohibitive burden for recreational users who fly for fun and educational purposes

and who have operated harmoniously within our communities for decades,""Dave Mathewson, executive director of the Academy for Model Aeronautics, said in a statement.

The FAA now receives about 100 reports a month from pilots who say they've seen drones flying near planes

but agency officials have said they're concerned that even a drone weighing only a few pounds might cause serious damage

#The airbag for a BULLET: Ping pong ball-style cushion can be attached to any gun to slow down shots

and prevent fatal injuries Fatal shootings by police and other law enforcement agencies could soon be avoided thanks to a device that acts like an'airbag'for a bullet.'

'The Alternative'device looks like a metal ping pong ball and can be attached to the barrel of any gun.

The idea is that the ball breaks off when a bullet is fired and melds with the shot,

effectively slowing it down to result in less injury. Scroll down for video It is hoped the'airbag for a bullet'could reduce the number of civilians killed by police officers in potentially lethal situations.

The device, designed by Alternative Ballistics in San diego, California, takes the form of a metal ball

or'bullet capture device'fitted over the barrel of a gun. Once the gun is fired

the bullet embeds itself inside the device without a chance of it escaping. The bullet's energy is transferred simultaneously to the alloy ball,

propelling it towards the target.''The Alternative'works like an'airbag for a bullet',slowing it down to one fifth of its intended speed.

When the device with the bullet inside hits a targeted person, it still causes serious pain,

but less injury to a body than a conventional bullet. In this way, it is'less lethal'than a regular bullet

and is designed to incapacitate a target without piercing the skin. If the gun is fired again,

a regular bullet will be fired. The company said the technology represents a critical'missing link'between lethal force and less-lethal force.'

'By utilising our bullet capture technology in appropriate situations, police are likely to prevent loss of life in a way that was until now not possible,

'the firm said. Alternative Ballistics CEO Christian Ellis told San diego ABC 10 News:''Just like an airbag, a certain amount of people will die

when they get into an impact and the air bag hits their chest.''There is a chance they could die with this

but it does mitigate the risk of death tremendously.''Alternative Ballistics'technology has not yet been trialled on humans,

but it has succesfully been tested on foam, gel and leather. Mailonline has asked Alternative Ballistics for more information. a
