While Electro-Optic Counter Measure (EOCM) systems appear to be the best answer to the proliferation of battlefield EO systems, they have attracted substantial criticism from groups such as the Helsinki-based Human Rights Watch because of their potential to temporarily or permanently blind humans. In a 1995 report, the group identified ten US laser weapons systems under development, such as the Saber 203, that it claimed could be used to blind humans. The Sabre 203 is a 'laser grenade' deployed with the US Special Operations Command. It can be fired from a 40-mm grenade launcher mounted on an M-16 rifle. This system is reportedly designed to impair the vision of enemy soldiers and was deployed with US forces to Somalia in 1995. Another system, The Dazer, is a man-portable device capable of firing 50 shots per minute from a 1,000 shot battery magazine. It is now in use with US Special Operations Command. http://www.sfu.ca/~dann/Backissues/nn4-3_12.htm
"...At Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, for example, the military's Alternative Control Technology Laboratory has experimented with systems that allow pilots to 'fly by thought.' By controlling their brain waves, human subjects at the laboratory can steer a flight simulator left or right, up or down, a skill that most people at the lab master in only an hour..." http://www.room23.de/room23_view_detail.php?ID=920
Caltech researchers have invented a "neurochip" that connects a network of living brain cells wired together to electrodes incorporated into a silicon chip. The neurochips were unveiled at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, held in New Orleans the week of October 25-30, 1997. http://pr.caltech.edu/media/lead/102797JP.html
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals on Exoskeletons for Human Performance Augmentation (EHPA). The overall goal of this program is to develop devices and machines that will increase the speed, strength, and endurance of soldiers in combat environments. http://www.darpa.mil/baa/baa00-34.htm
NASA has fallen prey to the temptation of the lowly snake and gone back to the garden for inspiration for its next generation of spacefaring robots. http://www.space.com/news/snakebots_000504.html
"The ability to use biology to perform specific mechanical tasks on the nanometer scale with silicon provides a completely new approach to operate machinery autonomously, without external power or computer control. We have found a way to get DNA to do the work for us, so we don't need batteries, motors or the like to operate tiny machines," said James Gimzewski of IBM Research, in a statement released by the company. http://www.eetimes.com/story/OEG20000418S0019
In the early 1990s, I became totally fascinated with the fantastic ideas that coursed through much of the budding cyberculture, from virtual reality shamans to Extropian transcendentalists to ravers and technopagans and cyberspace mythologists. The more I looked into the cultural history of media technology, however, the more I discovered strange pockets of mystical technoculture, and my book explores those largely unacknowledged stories and influences. http://www.techgnosis.com/

DARPA is "soliciting innovative proposals to (1) determine whether genetically-determined odortypes can be used to identify specific individuals, and if so (2) to develop the science and enabling technology for detecting and identifying specific individuals by such odortypes." See DARPA's presolicitation notice for the "Odortype Detection Program," December 13, here.
