For example, Britain’s national mapping organisation’s brand is associated in our national consciousness with going to a small shop in a quaint village to get a map showing how to walk up a mountain. It’s called Ordnance Survey. If that sounds like Artillery Research to you, that’s because the project started because the king wanted to know how to accurately bomb Scotland.
Fortunately, there is a Tom Scott video.
IIRC it’s not even the only sterilized insects US government air drops from planes. ( Fruit flies over LA? )
