Victorinox Presentation Pro Swiss Army Knife


Victorinox Presentation Pro Swiss Army KnifeLong gone are the days when a Swiss Army Knife was only good for whittling, opening bottles, and accidentally getting suspended from school. Victorinox’s new breed of knives has focused on integrating more tech features into the do-it-all devices, and the latest, unveiled at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, trumps them all.

The Presentation Pro includes a 32GB removable USB thumb drive with integrated biometric fingerprint sensor, laser pointer and Bluetooth remote control. And that’s only the geeky stuff. There’s also a nail file, screw driver, scissors, key ring, and of course, the obligatory blade.

That means you can carry your PowerPoint on the thumb drive, keep it secure by ensuring only your fingerprint will allow it to be read, remotely change slides when it’s on a projector with the Bluetooth remote, and highlight the most important parts with the laser pointer. And there’s always that blade in case anybody gets rowdy.

Victorinox will release the Presentation Pro in a number of different variants (including one with no blade so it can be carried onboard airplanes) in May. They’ll range between $170 and $330, depending on capacity.

The U.S. Army is developing A.I. missiles that can choose their own targets

The United States military wants to equip itself with a new type of artificial intelligence-guided missile, which will use A.I. smarts to pursue its targets. While the U.S. Army already employs a missile which uses infrared sensors to locate and attack tanks at a range of around 200 meters, this new smart projectile could serve as a longer range option. Several contractors are hoping to win the Cannon-Delivered Area Effects Munition (C-DAEM) bid, with prototype demonstrations set to be shown off in 2021. The time between now and then will be used to develop the necessary software.

Requirements for would-be contractors include the ability to build a weapon that can hit “moving and imprecisely located armored targets” whose “exact position has high uncertainty.” The level of autonomy of this weapon isn’t wholly clear.
