[Torg] [NNWS] another possible contender for IriMesh?

[Cedric Chausson]

Granted there are some things that we won't be able to match in reality but
just look at the evolution of drones and robots. The US Army has just
authorized for battle testing three SWORDS robots. Of course they are no
more than glorified gatlings on wheels but the evolution is there. They are
researching giving more autonomy to the Predator drones : the human part
would be limited to handing out the targets and the drone would do all the
rest by itself.
