Reading on the balcony of his house was a fatal mistake. that’s it Ayman al-ZawahiriThe al-Qaeda leader accidentally revealed his whereabouts to the CIA. Last July 31st, United States of America launched an attack with flying eye After 20 years of persecution, Osama Bin Laden’s former right-hand man took his life. The remote-controlled aircraft would fire an R9X Hellfire missile armed with six moving blades instead of conventional explosives, allowing the target to be surgically executed while reducing its ability to inflict secondary casualties.
The final major blow to the terrorist organization that carried out the 9/11 attacks cannot be understood without Washington’s eagerness to continue oiling the war machine. In recent years, arms race The pioneering of the United States has been expressed particularly through new advances. military technology It is doomed to differentiation because it opens the door to war without soldiers, theoretically more certain, and with fewer military sacrifices.
military drones
Few progress has been more visible in this area. drones militaryIn parallel with the international arms market, their business has grown. Thus, the unmanned aerial vehicle market armies According to a study by Allied Market Research, approximately $11.6 billion was moved last year for surveillance, logistics and assault missions, and this volume is expected to increase 12% over the next decade. More than 100 countries and other civil society actors have access to them.
The main manufacturers of military drones are companies such as the American. Lockheed MartinBoeing or Northrop Grumman Corporation, Israel Elbit Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries, Chinese state-owned CASC or AVIC or the French Thales Group also stand out. Chinese It is gaining ground in a market where other countries like Turkey or Iran are also starting to come to the fore. Its use in war is becoming more and more relevant, causing more nations to compete for influence in the industry.
remote control guns
Drone sales is a growing business for this and other companies, but it’s not the only one in development. distant weapons (RWS for English abbreviation), defense equipment installed in the USA military vehicles for terrestrial and aquatic soldiers they can control it remotely without revealing themselves. Its use has increased in recent years, especially in the fight against insurgent or terrorist movements. This market moved around $8,480 million in 2018 – the latest figures available – and is predicted to reach 25,000 million by 2026.
Other military technologies that armies are increasingly investing in are rockets and guided missiles, anti-battery radars (50.93 billion jobs last year), and communications software and applications, whose industry grossed $54.8 billion in 2021 and continues to rise. Military Internet of Things (IoMT), interconnection and coordination between military technological devices.
The most dystopian facet of this arms race, smart weaponsAble to use an algorithm to identify their targets and fire autonomously without the need for human control, with the risks involved. The UN has already accused Libya of using (and selling Turkey) a technology that the US spent $18 billion on research between 2016 and 2020.
drones, tanks and missiles, the arms race is also being held on a small scale. And the majority of electronic products, also warrior ones, semiconductorsIt is a strategic sector where China has already surpassed the US. Increasing tension between the two powers over Taiwan, which is vital in global chips production, is also responding to the struggle for the latest military technology.
