US Army Meets Skynet: Computer Pulls the Plug on Artillery Test

The US Army probably thought that nothing could derail its long-awaited test of the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) at the Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) in the state of Washington, but the computer system disagreed and pulled the plug on the drills.


The test was aimed at determining noise levels in communities located close to JBLM, a training and mobilization center located to the south of Tacoma. This is where the Army wants to conduct HIMARS training from now on. For the time being, the drills take place at the Yakima Training Center in central Washington.
Approximately one acre of trees was chopped down to prepare the firing site for the three-day exercise, but apparently that was not enough.
