7 Must Know Technological Advances in the Military

The military is employing research and technology companies to come up with new ways to protect citizens and the military from attack. These advances use the assistance of robots, 3D printers and software to engage the enemy, scout out enemy territories, protect miltary men and women in the battlefield, take down drones and protect our airspace from attacks. Continue reading to learn more about these exciting technological advances.

The Cyber Rifle

Drone users take note! This weapon has the ability to take out drones. This rifle uses a WiFi enabled radio, an antenna and a Raspberry Pi computer to find weaknesses in a drone’s software. When this weakness if sound, the cyber rifle emits a signal telling the drone shut down. This new technology shuts down drones without firing any projectile other than a simple radio signal.

CRANCUNS

CRANCUNS is an abbreviation of Corrosion Resistant Aerial Covert Unmanned Nautical System. The prototype was placed in salt water where it laid dormant for two months. Then, a command was given to rise from the water and it did. This technology will be used by the Marines. It will allow them to scout the area before they arrive. This technology will help keep soldiers safe. Finally, it may seem amazing, but part of this technology is manufactured using a 3D printer. Talk about the latest in technological advances!

Fireproof Combat Robot Tanks

Russia has created a fireproof combat robot tank that requires no human inside the tank. The robot tanks feature a 30mm cannon, a machine gun and missiles. This small combat tank should hit the battlefield in either 2017 or 2018.

Smart Device Protection

Because everyone uses smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices, the military is adapting them for use on the battlefield. The military is developing a piece of technology that will keep soldier’s mobile devices from being hacked. This advanced technology features a GPS receiver that protects tablets from being hacked by hackers.

Encryption

There is a lot to be said for greater encryption in the world of secrets and the military is going through a lot of changes. The added encryption alongside ruggedized military computers such as these from Chassis-plans.com is making a big difference to the military.

Medical Apps

The Army is developing an app that will be used to help diagnose brain traumas within minutes. The App is called the Defense Automated Neurobehavioral Assessment. This app will help diagnose PTSD, depression and other brain issues. It will help medics in the field with quick diagnoses of brain traumas.

Anti-UAV Defense System (AUDS)

This defense system will be used in restricted air spaces and airports. AUDS was developed in the United Kingdom. If a drone is detected in restricted air spaces, the system will send out a radio wave which will disrupt the remote signal controlling the drone. This technology freezes the drone in place and prevents it from knowing where to fly. The drone will hover in the same location. The Anti-UAV Defense System acts as a freeze ray against drones.

Lightning Strike Plane

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded Aurora Flight Science Corp. a contract to develop a Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft. The system will use fans called distributed hybrid-electric propulsion ducted fans to achieve vertical lift off and landing. This project will use a Rolls-Royce AE 1107C turboshaft.

As you can see, there are many exciting technological advances being discovered. These technologies will be used by the armed forces to protect against an attack on the soil and in the air. As more and more technologies are discovered, the way the military fights the war on terrorism will evolve. What this means for the military and governments is better protection.
