The Rat did a one-blogger blogger roundtable with folks from the Army evaluating robots for removing unexploded ordnance yesterday. The Army Environmental Command looked at a number of robots developed by the Air Force Research Lab’s Materials and Manufacturing Directorate for the job of clearing and expanding its ranges, taking people out of the dirty and dangerous job of finding, flagging, digging up and disposing unexploded ordnance (UXO). Look for a full story on the test in Defense Systems in March.

YouTube soon to be GSA legal.
Nextgov reports that the GSA and Google/YouTube are close to a deal that will make it possible for Federal agencies to post videos to the YouTube service.
The deal was hinted at at last month’s Bethesda AFCEA breakfast, when Peter Alterman , Deputy Associate Administrator for Technology Strategy at GSA’s Office of Government-wide Policy, told the assembled AFCEAns and feds that Google had agreed to meet government requirements for use.
Coming soon: Everything Pueblo, Colorado ever wanted to tell you in an Internet video, but you were afraid to ask. Also, more videos like this one, the Rat hopes.
