DARPA
The Pentagon s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is set to begin building the first OpFires intermediate-range missile.
OpFires will allow the U.S. Army to strike time-sensitive targets up to 1,000 miles away.
The missile’s development is possible because of the end of the INF Treaty on nuclear weapons.
The Pentagon s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is preparing to build a working copy of the new OpFires hypersonic missile. OpFires, destined for the U.S. Army, will give the service the ability to strike targets with a fleeting window of opportunity, covering the weapon’s 1,000-mile range in 20 minutes.
In 1624, English poet John Donne penned his famous poem
‘No Man Is an Island’, sublimely evoking the reality of human unity: ‘Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind.’ Therefore, he concluded his poem, ‘never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.’
