10 Most Insane Secret Military Technologies
Warfare has always lead to the biggest leaps forward in technology, which each Country constantly striving to have the most advanced and capable armaments to protect their interests at home and abroad. Seemingly drawing inspiration from science-fiction, the latest and greatest advancements in military hardware and future weaponry paint a scarily accurate and dangerous view of the world of warfare in coming years.
Introduction
The military has been known for keeping many of its technological advancements a secret, to protect national security and maintain a strategic advantage over enemies. In recent years, there have been many military technologies that have come to light, some of which are beyond imagination. In this article, we will take a glimpse at the 10 most insane secret military technologies that have been developed.
1. Stealth Technology
Stealth technology was developed for making military planes invisible to enemy radars. The technology was first used in the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk, which was tested in the 1980s. This technology is so advanced that most countries are still struggling to develop the same.
2. Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles
Autonomous unmanned vehicles are unmanned aerial, ground, or aquatic vehicles that are programmed to undertake a specific mission without human intervention. These vehicles have been developed to reduce human casualties during missions and are controlled remotely. They are also used to do difficult tasks like bomb diffusing and reconnaissance.
3. Combat Exoskeletons
Combat exoskeletons are wearable robots that increase the strength of soldiers and reduce their fatigue. They look like iron suits and enhance physical performance by providing support, strength, and endurance.
4. Electronic Warfare Systems
Electronic Warfare Systems disrupt enemy communications and jam their radar and other radiofrequency signals. This technology is used to gain control over enemy satellites and drone systems, which can be used for reconnaissance, surveillance, and targeting.
5. Railgun
The railgun is a weapon that uses electromagnetic force to shoot a projectile at high velocities. The high velocities give the projectile a destructive power that is unmatched by traditional guns. The technology has been in development since the 1980s and is now close to being deployed on ships.
6. Hypersonic Weapons
Hypersonic weapons are missiles that can travel at speeds of 5,000 to 25,000 miles per hour. These missiles are fast enough to reach any target on the globe within minutes. They can be used for both offense and defense.
7. Laser Weapons
Laser weapons or Directed Energy Weapons are being developed to be used as an alternative to traditional weapons. The lasers are powerful and can shoot down drones, missiles, and even planes.
8. Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs)
UCAVs are remotely operated unmanned aerial vehicles that can conduct attacks without the need for human intervention. They can be used for surveillance, reconnaissance, and strikes. The U.S. military has been using UCAVs since 2001, and their use has been increasing.
9. Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Defense Systems
CBRN defense systems are used to detect, identify, and protect against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons. They include protective suits, air filters, and detectors. These systems help in the prevention and mitigation of attacks by enemies.
10. Next-Generation Combat Vehicles
Next-generation combat vehicles are the latest generation of military ground vehicles. They are highly advanced, offering increased mobility, protection, and offensive capabilities. They utilize advanced technologies like sensors, armor, and weapons to provide superior performance on the battlefield.
Conclusion
These secret military technologies are examples of the innovation and dedication that goes into protecting national security. The technologies are sophisticated and emphasize the importance of having an advantage over the enemy. Although these technologies may never be used in combat, they have redefined the way we approach military operations. It is essential for nations to keep these secret technologies guarded, as it provides a strategic advantage over their enemies.
