Nova featured some kind of project like this during this season.  I
can't remember if it was military weapons or computer inteligence.
Anyway it showed a camera going over a model battlefield while the
software was trying to recognize targets.  

Then I suddenly found the clicker in my hand and remembered a new
episode of Star Trek was on.  Does anyone remember the details of
this episode?
