Think they'll resurect the "glow-in-the-dark" brigade too?

It's Popular Mechanics, I wouldn't count on the story being anything more
than
an over active imagination. I put it in the same category as the laser
tank
they had a "photograph" of in 1970 or 1972.


PS isn't *always* wrong; this might actually turn out to be something
useful.

Hell, they had a write-up on the SLAM 30 years ago or so.
And some of that even got to prototype stage. The reactor is
probably buried in the desert somewhere. Great UAV. It did not
need bombs. It was the ultimate dirty moving bomb.

Was that one Project Pluto?
