US Army’s LRPF developing long range Artillery systems to penetrate anti-access/area denial networks

May 27, 2022 Army, Weapons Comments Off on US Army’s LRPF developing long range Artillery systems to penetrate anti-access/area denial networks

While the Army has a variety of means to deliver long-range fires, such as organic attack helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and air support from Navy and Air Force aircraft, these assets are frequently unavailable due to adverse weather and terrain as well as availability. U.S. Army cannon artillery …

Missile RF seekers being improved through Electronically steering, millimeter wave seekers, and Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) technology

May 2, 2022 Electronics & EW, Weapons Comments Off on Missile RF seekers being improved through Electronically steering, millimeter wave seekers, and Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) technology

In recent years, precision guided weapons play more and more important role in modern war. One of the greatest strengths of a precision strike missile is a reduction in the number of aircraft sorties required to destroy a target. One of the key contributors to the missile accuracy, lethality, and …

Missile seekers

May 2, 2022 Weapons Comments Off on Missile seekers

Missile guidance concerns the method by which the missile receives its commands to move along a certain path to reach a target. On some missiles, these commands are generated internally by the missile computer autopilot. On others, the commands are transmitted to the missile by some external source. The missile …

Militaries racing to develop hypersonic cruise missiles after deploying Boost-glide vehicles

April 7, 2022 Geopolitics, Weapons Comments Off on Militaries racing to develop hypersonic cruise missiles after deploying Boost-glide vehicles

Hypersonic weapons typically travel at Mach 5 to Mach 10 — or speeds of 3,840 to 7,680 miles per hour. A missile traveling at Mach 5 could hit a target 100 miles away in about 1 minute and 34 seconds. A missile moving at Mach 10, meanwhile, could hit a target …

Emerging ultrashort pulse laser (USPL) or Femtosecond laser directed energy weapons (DEW)

April 7, 2022 Photonics, Weapons Comments Off on Emerging ultrashort pulse laser (USPL) or Femtosecond laser directed energy weapons (DEW)

The Laser Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) offer a transformational ‘game changer’ to counter asymmetric and disruptive threats, while facing increasingly sophisticated traditional challenges. Laser technology provides major advantages for military applications over kinetic weapons due to High precision and rapid on-target effect, precise and scalable effects, avoidance of collateral damage …

North Korea perfecting ICBM capable to deliver a nuclear weapon anywhere in the United States, driving US to enhance its Ground-Based Midcourse Missile Defense (GMD)

April 5, 2022 Air Force, Threats, Weapons Comments Off on North Korea perfecting ICBM capable to deliver a nuclear weapon anywhere in the United States, driving US to enhance its Ground-Based Midcourse Missile Defense (GMD)

Throughout 2017, North Korea tested several missiles demonstrating the rapid advances in its military technology. The Hwasong-12 was thought to be able to reach as far as 4,500km (2,800 miles), putting US military bases on the Pacific island of Guam well within striking distance. Later, the Hwasong-14 demonstrated even …

Ion beam accelerator for nuclear device characterization, detection of contraband materials, and Directed energy weapons

February 15, 2022 Material, Security, Weapons Comments Off on Ion beam accelerator for nuclear device characterization, detection of contraband materials, and Directed energy weapons

Ion beam accelerators are machines providing kinetic energy to charged particles called ions, which bombard the target sample – the material to be irradiated and subsequently analyzed. The target can be a thin foil or a piece of mineral, rubber, textile, tissue, soil or metal. The sample can be an …

China, North Korea and others developing Super-EMP and other Electromagnetic Weapons, posing serious threat to civil society

January 14, 2022 Geopolitics, Threats, Weapons Comments Off on China, North Korea and others developing Super-EMP and other Electromagnetic Weapons, posing serious threat to civil society

The electromagnetic pulse commonly abbreviated as EMP, is a high-intensity burst of electromagnetic energy caused by the rapid acceleration of charged particles, can be produced by intense solar storms or by a nuclear weapon detonated high in the atmosphere. For example, solar geomagnetic storms (geomagnetic disturbances or GMD) create immediate …
