NATIONAL—New Nanotech technology is now able to track, disrupt and even self-destruct firearms that is known as a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS), which utilizes tiny devices that are implanted in guns and other weapons that affect the weapon’s operation by using mechanical processes created by precision engineering.
Media reports reveal the devices include miniature GPS systems designed to make guns easier to track and self-destruct systems that could cause them to explode if they receive a wireless signal.
The MEMS is being developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Pentagon’s science division. The idea is that this technology will be used in weapons given to questionable allies such as the Syrian rebels, who Obama is currently funding with weapons and other resources.
