Military developments Bashny.Net

Whether we like it or not, the military industry is actively developing. Soon the world will see a new firearm, the new missiles and military equipment. In the majority of development is even hard to believe - they too resemble weapons of sci-fi thriller. But it is a reality





Guns firing from the corner

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

Immortals synthetic beings

In the framework of the "Bio-» Agency Defense Advanced Research Projects DARPA is developing a full "army of zombies." Their research is focused on what to get for warfare soldiers or synthetic replicants able to resist the process of death and aging through genetic engineering and molecular biology. In the case, if such a soldier-cyborg need to remove, then the created being is a special trigger molecule for self-destruction, which can be activated remotely.



Weapons, creates an electromagnetic field

MAHEM or magnetohydrodynamic explosive weapons - a missile which with the help of a magnetic field will shoot into space jet of molten metal, 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 US combat FEL laser produces by far the most powerful beam in the world: it can cut steel up to 6 meters per second. As the US Navy combat lasers will be placed on ships by the end of this year.



High-energy laser system of local defense

The project involves the creation of aviation HELLADS laser system output of 150 kW. Agency DARPA was able to design a system of laser weapons smaller weight and dimensions with the same power that enabled him to fit on a fighter. Laser HELLADS be able to shoot down and controlled drones and even to fire on enemy infantry with minimal collateral damage to densely populated areas.



Rail electromagnetic guns

The rail gun can disperse small (10-15 pounds) projectiles to significant speed, causing huge damage to machinery and other enemy targets by the conversion of electrical energy into kinetic energy. The project is creating a "railgun" or "railgun" intensively discussed in recent years. Implementation of such weapons has always prevented its size, weight and power consumption, which were completely unsuitable for placement of such guns on the ships. However, the leadership of the US Navy hopes to install and test advanced marine Railgun 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, supervisors, which 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 rates, dropping ammunition directly at the enemy. In the second battle DREAD installation capable of producing 2,000 shots per minute and their number reached 120 thousand! Also works without a gun recoil, silently and does not overheat.



The helicopter "Excalibur»

UAV developed by Aurora Flight Services, is an air device, capable to perform a vertical takeoff and landing, transporting just four antitank missiles Hellfire, hover in place and reach speeds of up to 740 kilometers per hour. In short, this is a quiet and compact machine killer designed for reconnaissance, transporting ammunition and attacks on ground targets.



XM-25 grenade launcher

Self-loading manual XM-25 grenade launcher developed by Heckler & Koch, has a high range and the opportunity to hit enemies 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 ultramodern laser rangefinder, and uses a variety of ammunition, from high-explosive air to undermine anti-personnel mines. Successful application of this grenade in Afghanistan led to further improve it, to make the XM-25 weapon of the future.
