#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,
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
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

the Royal Navy is now investigating how technology will change the fleet. The answer, it seems,

There would be an electromagnetic gun at the bow, capable of firing projectiles the same distance as today long-range cruise missiles.

And along the ship sides would be missile tubes for defensive hypersonic missiles directed energy weapons to stop small enemy craft loaded with explosives.
The outrigger hulls would contain tubes to fire special torpedoes which travel through water in a near frictionless air bubble that allows speeds of more than 345mph.

'Darpa said the Gremlin drones would have a lifetime of around 20 uses, fitting somewhere between missiles and conventional aircraft.

#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

'From Ocean's Eleven to Star trek, weapons that wipe out enemy electronics are a staple of science fiction films.
For years, scientists have been attempting to create such a weapon as part of Champ, or the Counter-electronics High-powered microwave Advanced Missile Project.
Now, the US Air force claims it has advanced the technology, and says it can deploy it using the stealthy Joint Air-to-surface Standoff Missile-Extended Range (JASSM).
There are fears a well targeted attack could knock out multiple power stations.''This technology marks a new era in modern-day warfare,
'said Keith Coleman, CHAMP program manager for Boeing Phantom Works.''In the near future, this technology may be used to render an enemy's electronic
''But it is much easier to disprove a cause (as we did with guns above) than it is to prove a cause.''
'But if it is then surely weighing the possible deaths of 90%of our citizens due to cyber warfare against gun violence

#Ready To Get Your Drugs By Drone? Amazon Plan Could Be Game-Changer Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos knew skeptics would pan his drone-delivery plan. know this looks like science fiction.
It not, Bezos told 60 minutes more than a year ago, showing off Amazon test-model octocopters.
And he acknowledged that Amazon proposal to use robot drones faced major regulatory and technical hurdles.
The Federal aviation administration on Thursday awarded an xperimental airworthiness certificateto Amazon AMZN-0. 33%that would clear the way for the company to begin testing its drone program.
such as having a pilot on hand to fly the drone at all times. That important, because Amazon wants its Prime Air drones to be autonomous.)
And many, many technical and regulatory hurdles still loom. But the FAA certificate represents a necessary step for Amazon,
For example, Amazon already been hiring drone software developers, drone regulatory experts, and even drone pilots, too.
So. Let say drone delivery actually happens, with Amazon taking the lead. The new model could dramatically reshape the retail industry,
and affect Amazon fortunes. It could cut down on delivery trucks, for instance, and change our expectations and interactions with companies.
But the most exciting and important application of drone delivery would be in health care. There no comparison.
For these patients, autonomous drones could go the last mile or the last couple miles in helping improve medical adherence and patient outcomes.
Drugs are already being delivered by drone illegal drugs, that is. Various cartels are using drones to send methamphetamine and other narcotics over the heads of authorities.
One drug-toting drone infamously crashed in a parking lot in January. And legal drugs are being delivered in other countries,
which have been more permissive. German packaging company DHL last year spent a month testing drug delivery-by-drone to a remote island off the country coast.
But the test was plagued with problems; two of the first ten drone flights were scrapped because of bad weather.
Would-be drone delivery services in the United states face complications, too. Last month, Amazon complained that the FAA proposed regulations on drones would be too harsh.
And a San francisco startup called Quiqui got considerable attention for its plans to use drones to deliver drugs last year,
although the company ultimately wasn able to get off the ground. That said, investors remain bullish on the U s. drone sector.
In the third quarter of 2014 alone, investors poured a record $65 million into drone tech startups.
Backers included major VC players like Adreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Google Ventures hope what youl see is the regulations get cleared very soon
and youl see a whole bunch more activity, a16z Chris Dixon said last year. y hope is that 2015 will be the year of the drone

#Amazon to begin testing new delivery drones in the US Last month it emerged that the Federal aviation administration (FAA) had granted Amazon permission to begin testing a delivery drone prototype for its Prime Air service,
when it petitioned the FAA for permission to begin testing its drones. But the agency's response was hardly swift,
This will clear the way for Amazon to begin testing its drones outdoors in the United states. The exemption dictates that Amazon's drones fly no higher than 400 ft (122 m),
These rules are consistent with a set of proposed guidelines around commercial drone flight that the FAA floated earlier in the year.
While it marks another step toward the realization of Amazon's ambitious drone delivery plan,
The most obvious obstacle Amazon faces is convincing the FAA that drones can be flown safely beyond the line of sight.
It plans to shoot autonomous drones along 10 mi (16 km) long skyways at 50 mph (80.5 km h) with packages weighing up to 55 lb (25 kg) in tow.
