[Ben]

Want (because you never know when you may find yourself trapped in the medical lab on LV-426).

This would be the perfect point defense against the cat.

Science fiction has this nagging habit of becoming science fact.

überwant.  Wow.

Needs IFF software, too.

Needs IFF software, too.

The links that kgb provides to YouTube indicate that the latest software from their project does do that. Although I don't know that it can differentiate people. I think the best it can do is animals vs. people. Or maybe large animals (unwanted cats) vs. small animals (songbirds) etc.

Although I think if the system just has a scoring metric overall for the targeted object in the pixel deltas, perhaps a simple retroreflective patch that lights up brightly in IR would suffice, anything with the bright spots does not get shot. (maybe sleeves and legs for a gait pattern etc.)

The thing that really sucks is that the ATF deems any motorized manipulation of a sear or trigger to be "Fully Automatic" per the NFA. 

A few of the cheap Romanian AK pistols with drum magazines would be a great force multiplier for the lone homesteader come SHTF.

Since you don't want to have three of these and three high-cap firearms that just happen to fit the mounts if the BATFE comes knockin'...which item does your neighbor want to have six of?

Need to hook this up to a paint ball gun.  Too bad I didn't have one of these when the raccoons ate all the grapes in my garden.

See KGB's link. :)

IIRC the tracking software just looks for movement in the static image. I suppose you could do an IFF with a specific color, ie armbands, that would make the computer disregard detected movement if it contains that color.

If the S really HTF that badly, BATFEIEIO would be the last of one's worries.

LOL, that's too funny.  My wife said someone's mom is going to be ticked.  "YOU! get out there and clean all that paint."
