U.S. military devices creates self-destruct before falling into enemy hands

The U.S. Department of Defense working on the development of electronics that self-destruct when receiving a specific signal, thereby to prevent the technology from their devices to be used by the enemy to fall into their hands.

"The conventional consumer electronics, made for daily use, can last almost forever. DARPA But [Agency Defense Advanced Research] are looking for a way to create electronics that lasts exactly long enough. Their destruction could be triggered by a signal sent for this purpose, or when certain environmental conditions are met, "the agency reported on its official website.

The goal of DARPA is developing a class of electronics that "conserve the capabilities of the most modern technologies of today and when the conditions are met, partially or completely degrade." "Once triggered the reaction, this email should be absolutely useless to an enemy that could find it."

In December 2011, Iran was able to hack and capture one of the most advanced drones U.S. when overflying Iranian airspace. Shortly after Iran presented its own version of the U.S. drone.

The project of the U.S. Defense Department, called Programmable Disappearing Resources (VARP, for its acronym in English), is the development of "electronic microsystems low cost, single use".

"Because of the difficulty to track and retrieve all electronic devices in the battlefield, the devices will have a scheduling system that allows self-destruction and controlled remotely," the agency added.

For this purpose DARPA has awarded nearly four million dollars to the computer company IBM to manufacture this chip, in turn informs the Federal Business Opportunities website state. (RT)
