There was a Thread about same thing posted in March of 2015. See: https://laserpointerforums.com/threads/lockheed-martin-athena.92988/

Am sure the technology is way more advanced/developed than that by now 2019.

Here is a more detailed and current view of ATHENA's technology and capabilities by Lockheed Martin: https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/products/athena.html/

Oops, didn't realize this was old news. It just popped up in my Facebook news feed, so I assumed it was fairly recent.

No worries ixfd64. I've seen a lot of old news posing as new stuff lately. Easily done.

I "still' think that many of the recent necros -- we due to the list of thread and ads that I see above or below (in blue on my PC)--the top ones
are thread links w/ no regard to any dates.
some are links to ads. (w/ no regard to quality etc)

IF one necros fully knowing the last post is old--

that is one thing-- posting w/o knowledge of any dates is not the same thing.
I forget to read the dates myself and necros at least twice w/o knowing..

Those that necro fully knowing any/all dates are in another case.
There IMHO is NO 'firm word on necros' lots of gray areas and many other forums invite posts of any kind any where..

IF a vet posts new info in an old thread (even if not new to YOU)- he (or she) mostly knows what they are doing and not my (or your) place to cry foul.

I invite any member new or old to ask my opinion on any post (that may be too old to post in) you are not sure you should post
OR PM any Vet here and they will chime in..
