I guess since they've had to ground their planes, they needed some research on other ways to get up in the air:

Interesting idea, although I don't think it would have helped much at Point du Hoc.

First time I've seen a reporter use the term "special forces military" to refer to SOF. Ah well, I keep my standards low in that arena, so I'm never disappointed.

But you can only use it when someone inside the target is vacuuming the floor.

Don't forget the occupants need to be deaf, living in a building with smooth walls and no exterior windows.. :munchin

Maybe someday...

Give UCU a 100M USD and DARPA will get their wish...

It's a start.

The prototype works.

Beats rubber disks that need a glass wall.

But just think, you can get some of those vacuum compression bags and pack more stuff in your ruck.
