Smart Gun - Is This Project Dead???
Researchers expect the smart gun grip recognition technology to be available in about three years. - Breakthroughs in Science 2005
This is one thing we've been keeping our eyes on. In the November 2006 update we noted:
Revised estimates of the time required for all parties to complete product engineering and obtain regulatory approvals means that a marketable 'Personalized Smartgun' product is unlikely to be available until at least late 2007
MetalStorm doesn't mention the project in it's CEOs message of this past August. The company seems to have a few hot items going on but it's stock has been sliding for years and now trades around $2. A search of their site give no hits for "smart gun".
NJIT's last update was a note that they got funding from the state in 2005.
Below are my posts on the subject. Plenty of links there for background.
November 2006
July 2006
March 2006
April 2005
February 2005 So it's been a solid two and a half years without any word on progress with this venal project.
I hope it has died a terrible and expensive death for NJIT and MetalStorm.
