These technologies are specifically designed for military use. These technologies cannot be used in civilian applications. These weapons, and other technology, are intended for military use only and should not be used by civilians who have been trained in military operations. Without special training, these technologies are not available to civilians.
Airborne Tactical System
The Airborne Tactical System uses Augmented Reality to train air combat pilots. This system allows virtual assets to be integrated into the real world. It facilitates coordinated maneuvers against synthetic enemies. Red 6 developed the system to revolutionize the way allies train.
The system has a multitude of applications in both civil and military operations. A full-featured computer can be installed on the aircraft to project digital images and motion photos onto a flat surface. You may also carry search and rescue pods and markers, flares, guns, and guns. All of these can be controlled by a store management system. The system must also have 360-degree radar coverage.
Directed Energy (DE) weapons
Directed Energy (DE), weapons that use energy to kill target targets, is a novel type of weapon in military technologies. They don't emit loud explosions or large red lasers like traditional laser weapons. Instead, they are designed to shoot targets from the sky without causing collateral damage. They can also track targets from space, which can aid them in fighting against enemy troops.
Directed energy weapons are gaining ground in military technology and are being developed by the United States and its adversaries for both conventional and unconventional warfare. They can be used for air, land, space and ground defense, as well. Directed energy weapons have several advantages, including a deep magazine, long-range engagement, and the ability to destroy electronics without causing harm to people.
VR
The military is embracing new technologies to enhance training and resilience in real-life situations. Virtual Reality allows soldiers to learn how to work together, collaborate and navigate in complex environments. Virtual Reality can be used to aid combatants suffering from PTSD or other mental disorders. Moreover, military training with VR is an effective way to help new recruits adjust to life in the military.
Even before "virtual realities" became popular, the Pentagon was already exploring interconnected virtual realms. Air Force Captain Jack Thorpe published an article in 1978 that described a system with networked simulators to support distributed mission planning. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency picked up the project, and then the Army. This project is stuck early on, due to its complicated design.
IoT
The military needs to increase its IoT and Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities. Soldiers need access to vital information 24/7 and the ability make fast decisions in potentially dangerous environments. The military has invested heavily to develop IoT technology. One example is that a soldier might use an IoT gadget to collect data about their operational context. This data could be used for context adaptive authentication in the wild or continuous monitoring of the soldier’s mental condition in a dedicated Edge Computing architecture.
The military has experienced a slow adoption of IoT technologies. This is not due to technological limitations. Despite the deployment of millions upon millions sensors by the military, many of them have been created in silos which make it difficult to communicate between each other. There are many examples of successful implementations in the private sector, but very few military applications have fully leveraged the potential of IoT. This slow adoption could be due to cultural and structural differences.
