Futuristic Technologies
The progress in military technology is certainly baffling enough to make your head spin. Even our everyday exposure to technologies and its futuristic possibilities are nothing compared to the research and development of futuristic weapons and wartime gadgets. Military establishments around the world are continuously looking for more lethal weapons and killing mechanisms. In just a decade from now the modern warfare is going to experience some of the high-tech maneuvers that were unthinkable even a few years ago. Here we are going to introduce top 5 futuristic technologies of modern warfare.
Intelligent Drones
If you want to name a single military development in the past decade that changed the modern warfare then it is obviously the use of high-tech drones in various capacities in war zones or for regular defense measures. But these drones are still far from self-competent air vehicles with capability to perform a number of tasks without human intervention. Today’s military drones still need human intervention in all kinds of operations. As already the boundaries of modern science are being pushed further to make way for artificial intelligence in all devices, in the near future we can expect sentient drones with artificial intelligence and capabilities to perform a lot of tasks without human intervention.
Hyper-sonic Cruise Missiles
A military capability of striking anywhere around the globe in minutes following an intelligence input is what world greatest modern armies are driving at and hyper-sonic cruise missiles are the next big armament that can make this ambition come true. A Land Attack Cruise Missile (LASM) takes 80 minutes to hit target whereas this super fast missile can perform the same attack within just 12 minutes. US Army’s long-standing ambition of striking anywhere around the globe in minutes, are going to come true with this new missile technology undergoing research and development.
Weather Resistance Technology
Too many battles in the history have been won or lost due to incapability of fighters in coping up with the extreme weather condition. It is a common experience of any soldier feeling too rigid or exhausted in too cold or hot temperature and committing mistakes or just losing nerves all too soon. Our body has neurological receptor that actually makes us sensitive to he temperature or varying weather condition. Recently, a neurologist has invented a natural way to switch off this receptor to prevent us from feeling these extremities in weather and quickly various military research establishments and observers found it a real promising discovery for practical wartime uses in soldiers exposed to extreme weather condition.
Nanobot Healthcare
This is one of the most prominent amongst the futuristic technologies. Recent statistics suggests that a majority of evacuations in war-torn Middle East happened in last few years due to sickness rather than so-called wartime injuries. This credible data has for some time being addressed by researchers with their new use of nanotechnology in self-healing for the soldiers. Nanobots are the latest addition to this promising field of healthcare. Nanobots inhabiting the soldier’s body can detect any potential viral or bacterial threat or diseases and even can cure them. Moreover, they raise alarm to the protective mechanism of the body as and when required and save the soldier from getting ill. Nanobots piggybacking on a natural protein named lipoprotein conduct the monitoring at a molecular level in soldiers body and thus not only fights diseases but even protects body from any chemical attack.
Cognitive Threat Detection System
Though this still only functions as a very powerful binocular and is in the process of development for more rigorous and in-depth cognitive detection of wartime enemy threats, its capabilities still seem to be overly futuristic. Now it can detect only UV rays and any lights at a distance of 10 kilometers. The promise it holds is the cognitive detection of any threat based on soldiers brain waves. The logic behind this technology is rather simple. Our mind perceives many threats long before we think of them consciously. This detection system just processes that raw signal perceived by our brain and tells us to take action.
