Military Recruits Thousands More Warbots for New Unmanned Surge
In December, after all the lawsuits, the private eyes and the backroom deals, iRobot finally wrestled away the biggest ground-robotics contract in military history from its former employee and his secret partner. This “unmanned surge” was worth up to $286 million and 3,000 machines. And it didn’t look like it would be topped any time soon. But appearances can be deceiving in the world of military robots. Turns out, there’s been a second unmanned surge. And [Wednesday], iRobot’s rival, Foster-Miller, announced that it had won the contract to supply it. The five-year deal is worth up to $400 million. And it will cover thousands of Talon bomb-handling robots and spare parts — maybe between 2,000 and 4,000 robots, F-M executive Bob Quinn tells Xconomy.
VA Secretary: Vets’ Concerns About PTSD Are ‘Overblown’ (Think Progress)
Over the weekend, Veterans Affairs Secretary James Peake [dismissed concerns about PTSD]: “[He] suggested some of the concern about post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury has been overblown…” On Saturday, Peake also said that many vets with PTSD may just need “a little counseling” and shouldn’t “need the PTSD label their whole lives.” Peake’s comments are disturbing, especially in light of new numbers released by the Pentagon this week showing that the number of new PTSD cases “jumped by roughly 50 percent in 2007.” Since 2003, “roughly 40,000 troops have been diagnosed with the illness.” Additionally, as Brandon Friedman at VetVoice points out, Peake’s comments are undermined by VA psychiatrist Jonathan Shay, who has stressed the seriousness of PSTD.
