FUTURE WEAPONS

Insect cyborgs, laser guns, soldiers replicants - something that previously could only be seen in science fiction movies and games, it is now a reality. In an effort to beat his opponent, the country create more and more dangerous and sophisticated tools for the successful conduct of future wars.

 

• Weapon for shooting from the corner
  Such a weapon for fighting in urban environments can be bent in the barrel 90 degrees, thereby providing visibility goal without substituting a soldier under the bullets.
  
  
  

   
• Immortal synthetic beings
  Under the "Bio-Design" Agency Defense Advanced Research Projects DARPA full-generating "zombie army." Their research is focused on what to get for the conduct of hostilities synthetic soldiers or replicants, able to resist the processes of death and aging with the help of genetic engineering and molecular biology. In the case, if such a cyborg soldier required to correct, then the created being is a special molecule to trigger the self-destruction, which can be activated remotely.
  
  
  
• Weapons, creating an electromagnetic field
  MAHEM or magnetohydrodynamic explosive weapon - a missile, which by means of a magnetic field can shoot a jet of molten metal space, flying at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per second. Such weapons will easily hit any targets - bunkers, protected buildings or vehicles.
  
  
  

   
• Free Electron Laser
  This gun is capable of hitting targets at a distance by means of thermal laser beams. Senior American combat FEL laser produces by far the most powerful beam in the world: it can cut up to 6 meters of steel per second. According to the United States Navy combat lasers will be placed on the ships by the end of this year.
  
  
  

   
• High-energy laser system for local defense
  HELLADS project involves the creation of aircraft laser system output of 150 kW. Agency DARPA managed to design a system of laser weapons smaller weight and size with the same power that allowed him to fit in a fighter plane.The laser will be able to shoot down HELLADS controlled and unmanned aerial vehicles and even to fire on enemy infantry with minimal collateral damage to densely populated areas.
  
  
  

   
• Electromagnetic rail gun
  rail gun can disperse small (10-15 pounds) projectiles to considerable speeds, causing huge damage to the equipment and other objects of the enemy due to the conversion of electrical energy into kinetic energy. Project for a "railgun" or "railgun" intensively discussed in recent years. Implementation of such weapons has always prevented its size, weight and power consumption, which were totally unsuitable for placing these guns on the ships. However, management of the United States Navy hopes to install and test advanced marine Railguns already in 2016.
  
  
  

   
• Hybrid insects
  you will not believe, but cockroaches suicide is a reality! Another agency DARPA project aims to use a special device, the supervisors, who will be attached to the nerve endings of insects, thus turning them into controlled robots. Insect cyborgs mounted with a camera or even a bomb can penetrate into any premises for the purpose of exploration or destroy the enemy.
  
  
  
• 
• 
   
• Electric gun DREAD
  Such weapons executes circular rotation with exorbitant rate dropping ammunition directly at the enemy. In the second battle DREAD plant capable of producing 2,000 shots per minute and the number reaches 120 thousand! Also works without a gun recoil, silently and does not overheat.
  
  
  

   
• Helicopter "Excalibur"
  UAV developed by Aurora Flight Services, is a air unit capable of being a vertical takeoff and landing, transporting just four anti-tank missiles Hellfire, hover in place and reach speeds of up to 740 kilometers per hour. In short, it is a quiet and compact machine killer, designed for reconnaissance, transporting ammunition and hitting the ground target.
  
  
  

   
• XM-25 grenade launcher
  self-loading hand grenade XM-25, developed by Heckler & Koch, has a high range and the possibility of hitting the enemy behind cover, because "Smart" 25-millimeter grenade exploded behind or to the side of the object hitting the right target fragments. Grenade launcher is equipped with ultra-modern laser range finder, and uses a variety of ammunition: from high-explosive air to undermine the anti-personnel mines. Successful application of this grenade in Afghanistan led to its further improvements to make the XM-25 weapon of the future.
