THE NEXT GENERATION
The U.S. military has plans for a diverse arsenal in space. Microsatellites
could sabotage enemy satellites with high-power microwave beams. Flechettes
are rods that could theoretically be dropped from space to smash into targets
on earth. And laser cannons could, the Pentagon hopes, zap targets anywhere
on the planet.
The Defense Department's newest satellite technology, Warfighter I, sits
inside a protected clean room in Germantown, Md. To enter, you must run your
shoes through a cleaning device and then don a "bunny suit," a layered hooded
outfit that covers every part of your body except your eyes.
