Yesterday's

science

fiction

has

become

today's

fact

By

K.C.

KIRKBRIDF

Come

a day

soon

the

lowly

foot

-slogger

will become a

one -man

division,

complete

with his own

missile

and

missile

launcher,

landing

apparatus,

communications

equip-

ment.

And

he'll carry

his gear

wherever

he

goes.

A

soldier

turned

packhorse?

Hardly.

For

much

of

the

new

weaponry

emerging

from

major

research today

rivals

tiny

Alice

for

wonder. Fantastic

though

it

seems,

the

foot

soldier

of tomorrow

will carry

whole systems

on his

back,

weapons

that draw

from as-

tronomy

and

space and

molecular

electron-

ics, and

shame

the

crude armaments

of the

past.

Was

a

time

man

warred

with sticks

and

stones, bows

and arrows,

and

lances

and

swords.

He rode

off

to

battle

resplendent

on a

white

horse,

with

metal

vest and

gleam-

ing

sword

and

flowing

cape.

But

for all

his

splendid

beauty

he

was a pretty

vulnerable

target

for the

guy

who

didn't

like him.

So

as time

went

on and

he

sharpened

up a

bit

he fashioned

more

skillful

weapons:

the

rifle,

the machine

-gun,

the grenade.

But

never

in his

history,

with

all

his advancing

technology,

has

man designed

instruments

of

war

as

sophisticated

as

the

ones

he tests

today.

World's

First. Using

advanced

radar

techniques,

RCA

engineers

have

built a

canny

system

that

will

mount

on

the barrel

of

a

rifle,

an

M -79 grenade

launcher,

or an

M -60 automatic.

Its function:

to

spot mov-

ing

enemy

targets,

whether

walking

or run-

ning,

man

or animal,

large

or small, jeep

or

ten

-ton

truck. (Continued
