Changing nature Of Irregular Warfare require new capabilites and technologies

November 3, 2020 Doctrine & Strategy, Military, Security, Technology Comments Off on Changing nature Of Irregular Warfare require new capabilites and technologies

Traditional warfare is characterized as “a violent struggle for domination between nation-states or coalitions and alliances of nation-states. ” This confrontation typically involves force-on-force military operations in which adversaries employ a variety of conventional military capabilities against each other in the air, land, maritime, space, and cyberspace domains. The objective …

Copper forms a vital link in the defense industry’s metal and alloy supply chain, Cu2O, or cuprous oxide, is a promising material for quantum photonics, optoelectronics and renewable energy technologies.

November 3, 2020 Manufacturing, Material, Military, Technology Comments Off on Copper forms a vital link in the defense industry’s metal and alloy supply chain, Cu2O, or cuprous oxide, is a promising material for quantum photonics, optoelectronics and renewable energy technologies.

Rare, precious and specialized metals and alloys are widely used in the defense industry, not only in weaponry and defense equipment, but also for communications equipment and infrastructure. Military contractors require metal products like nickel-aluminum bronze, Beryllium copper and copper-nickel for these and related applications, which include aircraft components, anti-missile …

Threat of Battlefield air pollution affects soldiers and long term environment effects

November 2, 2020 Soldier, Threats Comments Off on Threat of Battlefield air pollution affects soldiers and long term environment effects

Atmospheric pollution is a growing problem, particularly in urban areas and in less developed countries. With half the world has no access to clean fuels or technologies (e.g. stoves, lamps), the very air we breathe is growing dangerously polluted. More than 8 million people around the world die each year …
