Those of you interested in the SR-75 model, I found it yesterday at the 
Price Club for $14.99 (at the Sterling, VA location)!  For those of you 
who don't know what the Price Club is, it is a membership warehouse discount 
store.  I would imagine that Sam's Club and other similar stores might
have the model for that price (but I only know about Price Club).

Enjoy!

Phil mentioned recently in this group that the Critical Technologies Plan
was part of NSTL (National Security Threat List). I'm not sure we're
referring to the same thing. The Critical Technologies Plan I have is
a document prepared for Congress, that discusses technologies the military
is convinced are necessary for future weapons (without revealing too many
details that would compromise the R&D). The areas that the military feel
are important are:
- - Semiconductor materials & microelectronics
- - Software engineering
- - High performance computing
- - Machine intelligence & robotics
- - Simulation & modelling
- - Photonics
- - Sensitive radars
- - Passive sensors
- - Signal & image processing
- - Signature control (i.e. stealth technology)
- - Weapon system environment (i.e. next generation avionics)
- - Data fusion (i.e. providing more integration of sensor & control data)
- - Computational fluid dynamics (to study airflow)
- - Air breathing propulsion
- - Pulsed power (i.e. electrical power that can be used with directed energy
  weapons)
- - Hypervelocity projectiles
- - High energy density materials (i.e. like Chobham armor)
- - Composite materials
- - Superconductivity
- - Biotechnology
- - Flexible manufacturing

Also, just out of curiousity, what does GENSER mean ?? (as in
TOP SECRET - GENSER)

A non-digest (direct mail) version of this list is also available; to
subscribe to that instead, replace all instances of "skunk-works-digest"
in the commands above with "skunk-works".
