technological revolution In recent years, it directly affects military industry. The space race is an example of the impact of this revolution. The war in Israel and Ukraine is an example of different weapons facing each other on the battlefield. Hamas’s analog war strategies For now, we have managed to evade Israel’s overwhelming technological might. The use of rockets (cheap projectiles without major technological advances) has sometimes proven lethal compared to far superior missiles (projectiles whose trajectory is remotely controlled). The success or failure of operations largely depends on the available military budget. The biggest beneficiaries of these expenditures are arms companies. Faced with the complex control of telecommunications, countermeasures are either more technology or analog alternatives. These are some of the technological advances that have entered the battlefield of this century and changed warfare forever.
Artificial intelligence and camera use
For example, it was used to implement facial recognition systems on the front end. Sophisticated systems were put in place to hide photographs of members of Russian forces in the war in Ukraine. The system allows real-time control of troops’ movements through drones that can recognize soldiers’ faces.
Drones are key to modern warfare
Drones have revolutionized attack strategies. Especially since they have become so cheap that they are subjected to increasingly risky tasks. Espionage from space is perfectly complemented by drones operating at low altitudes.
New invisible ships
New warships have increased their offensive capabilities in recent years. Some are difficult to detect with conventional radars. For the first time in the current Gaza war, a modern naval warfare platform with high-power and sensitive sensors and long-range attack capacity will be deployed.
Lasers like in Star Wars
There are already 600 kilowatt lasers that can destroy enemy weapons with millimetric precision. They perfectly complement ultra-fast missile systems, hypersonic or supersonic cruise missiles. Naval launch systems are capable of launching dozens of missiles per minute to avoid in-flight interference.
Weapons that see inside buildings
There are state-of-the-art weapons, some developed by Israel, that can detect objects and people through walls. The combined use of artificial intelligence, infrared and other techniques increases the precision of new weapons to unexpected levels.
Anti-drone rifles
The proliferation of unmanned aerial vehicles on the battlefield has necessitated the implementation of rifles that can block control signals of flying objects and prevent image transmission. Such weapons aimed at emitting radio frequencies are becoming increasingly important on the modern battlefield.
