A step closer to the Terminator - Judgement Day?

This article reminded me about the Skynet in Terminator 3.

Smart Mobs -: "August 10, 2003
The U.S. Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) has started Project Alpha, a think tank whose goal is to replace human fighters by autonomous robots by 2025. In this article, USJFCOM gives some details about the project.

Gordon Johnson, the Unmanned Effects Team leader for Project Alpha, said one of the goals is to create a unique DoD service to coordinate the efforts done by the Navy, the Air Force and the Army. Johnson added that autonomous robots will be more capable than humans: more lethal, cheaper, faster and with unmatched sensing capabilities.

And these fighting robots will probably not look like humans. This means there will not be any Terminators in our future.

This summary contains more details about Project Alpha."
