War Technology

From Future

Since humans first started using weapons for hunting, defence and for aggression there has been a battle between those who develop protection or armour and those who develop the weapons. For millennia this conflict has forged the way for better, more efficient weapons to be invented, as weapons have progressed so has the armour to defend against them, in the 20th century the circuit and microchip have changed the way weapons not only function but evolve. State of the art weapons now have inbuilt intelligence to help the weapon complete the function it was built for; this is already changing the face of warfare. In the future war will be fought primarily by robots [1], but until then the technology of warfare will continue to advance the capabilities of today's soldier on the battlefield.
