U.S. Congress has approved funding for the Army to perfect a laser that
projects life-sized hologram decoys of troops and tanks, designed to
fool enemies on the battlefield.  Dubbed the "Ghost Gun", the hologram
projector could also be used to display virtual images of religious or
political leaders in order to create calm or panic amongst the public.
 
U.S. Army scientist Dr. Gary Wood, who is leading the project at the
Army Research Laboratory in Adelphi, Maryland, said:  "One of the scenarios
was Saddam Hussein standing on a balcony spouting pro-American
messages or telling troops to lay down their arms.  We are well on the way
to perfecting it".
 
It is predicted that within 10 years many of the troops seen by enemy
units on the battlefield may be no more than 3D, laser-generated images.
U.S. defense consultant Dr. Brenda Mark said, "Anyone looking at the
target area will think the U.S. Army has a major presence there when in fact
there will be nothing but empty space."
