The Pentagon turns insects into machines

The Pentagon is seeking the best way to stop chemical weapons attacks against the United States with a powerful 'insect machine'.

Military researchers have tested the method of implanting a WMD detector into a larva, turning it into a half-machine, which detects poison gas used in chemical warfare.

In 2005, the US military trained a team of bees that could detect underground mines. After that, the Darpa HI-EMS program (Defense Research Projects Agency) began testing alternative insect repellents.

Small insects are "warriors" in the fight against chemical weapons.

So far, researchers have implanted very small pieces of the larvae into larvae and created a remotely-controlled beetle. HI-MEMS's initial efforts were focused on reconnaissance missions, specifically the Pentagon, wanting the disguised aphids to detect and distinguish different chemicals.

For this invention to fit into the 21st century, the military plans to put the remote control system over the wireless network into insects. Accordingly, the collected data will be transmitted from one insect to another and transmitted to the center. The message will be decoded by a human or computer system.
