A thermobaric weapon (also known as an aerosol bomb or Fuel Air Explosive) is a type of weapon the used the oxygen in the surrounding environment to generate a high-temperature explosion. While conventional explosive weapons are 25% fuel and 75% oxidizer, Thermobaric weapons consist of 100%fuel and as a result, are …

Currently, most vehicles rely on internal combustion engines for locomotion; however, a significant shift toward partial and complete electrification is likely to emerge as an alternative propulsion system for vehicles. An internal combustion engine system is highly cost-effective and hence, its usage is higher than other propulsion systems. Being a …

A high-payoff target, also known as an HPT, is a high-value target whose loss to the enemy will significantly contribute to the success of a friendly course of action. Also called HVT, the loss of high-value targets would be expected to seriously degrade important enemy functions throughout the friendly commander’s area of interest. The term has been widely used in the news media for Osama Bin Laden and …

One of the major lessons from Ukraine’s artillery war is that the side that can shoot farthest dominates the battlefield. According to the report, Russian howitzers are expending 20,000 shells daily on average, compared to 6,000 fired by Ukraine. The ratio for rocket artillery and ballistic-missile launches is even worse. …

Drones have become an essential platform for any military and they have changed the shape of recent conflicts. Their slow speed and small radar cross-section have created a lot of challenges for conventional sensors and weapons to detect and engage them. Many technologies have been developed for their detection and …
