The British military is set to take one of its most significant steps into the digital age with the launch of the first Skynet 5 satellite.

All very well and good - but there's still no decent secured link back to the UK which makes it hard for us scientists to get any usefull data back to the labs to support current ops. Skynet *will* be good though - as long as it doesn't become self aware and start screwing around with all the battlefield target identification systems in "friendly" tanks! Hehehe!
