...Moving Target Indicator is a radar system that allows a helicopter travelling at 200 m.p.h. to detect a single moving man three miles away. The Helicopter Project would provide all-weather stability for army "gunships." Both projects would be used extensively in Vietnam...
...moon, Conrad and Bean will take two strolls, each lasting 3½ to 4 hrs., gather about 130 lbs. of lunar rocks, and stage several scientific experiments. In addition to such familiar activities as measuring bombardment of the moon by solar particles and setting up another seismometer to detect lunar rumbling, the astronauts will leave behind three sophisticated instruments: 1) a magnetometer to take readings of the moon's weak, though detectable magnetic field that may tip off scientists to the moon's internal structure; 2) an ion detector capable of determining the nature of charged electrical particles...

Eventually the U.S. hopes to encourage Mexican agents to use planes equipped with electronic sniffers to detect where marijuana is being grown and then spray the plants with a still-experimental compound that will nauseate users who later smoke the products...
