Modular Disc-Wing Urban Cruise Munition

I so need one of these. Nothing says "Shut that damn dog up, fer chrissakes!", like a lethal, remote piloted, armed frisbee.

It ain't easy, picking out evil-doers in the urban canyons of the Middle East; there are so many places to hide. Taking 'em out can be even harder, what with all those noncombatants hanging nearby. But the Air Force thinks it might have an answer to this most vexing problem in counter-insurgency: frisbees.

Not just any frisbees, mind you. Robotic frisbees. Heavily armed robotic frisbees.

The Air Force recently tapped Triton Systems, out of Chelmsford, Mass, to develop such a "Modular Disc-Wing Urban Cruise Munition."

"The 3-D maneuverability of the Frisbee-UAV [unammned aerial vehicle] will provide revolutionary tactical access and lethality against hostiles hiding in upper story locations and/or defiladed behind obstacles," the company promises.

Killer Frisbees

Killer Frisbees

I have to say that I'm a tad on the skeptical side regarding this, but there is always the possibility that the Air Force has gotten ahold of a crashed alien craft and plans to reverse-engineer the technology for use in this manner.
