future combat soldier?

Question

modern weapons used by infantry soldiers in combat

Answer 1

I can't talk much about this, but my father is working on a project that will give them what he calls "macs". It stands for mobile armour enhanced with combat systems. Bsically, flying troops wearing body suits that let them do all sorts of amazing combat stuff. That's all I know. The rest is top secret I think.

Answer 2

What about them?

Following current trends, sometime in the future battlefield soldiers will carry a weapon built by the lowest bidder that is purported to be nigh indestructible, carry two million rounds of high density frangible flechette ammunition that fires at a rate of 6000 rounds per second over an effective range of 2.5 miles, with integral nightvision, thermal imaging, and targeting systems.

However in reality it will weigh 35 lbs, jam if it is fired at any angle greater than 0.0001 degree from perfectly horizontal, have rounds that are blown off target by a stiff breeze and be completely incapable of penetrating anything thicker than a 50/50% poly/cotton blend t-shirt. It will cost $400,000 per unit, and won't properly attach to any of its accessory weapons, such as grenade launchers, tasers, sonic irritators (which project Ashley Simpson recordings in a 60 degree cone in front of the weapon), and burrito warmers.

Plus, there will only be three available for each batallion.

Answer 3

Modern combat nowadays does not lend itself to direct contact between belligerent forces except seldom but to achieve that you must have a large number of equipment within the soldier reach and use such as night vision equipment, sophisticated C3I system interactive to allow first hand information from surveillance equipment, aiming devices on weapons such as rifles, longer range of firepower. Shields on body and head, large amount of munitions of all types. All these sophisticated toys and others must be light weight, easily maneuverable, defensively impregnable, They are continuously under development and enhancement along with new things on the way we do not know of them yet.

Answer 4

What we are utilising right this moment are no longer robots, yet remotely operated instruments. vast distinction. i think of it's going to be an prolonged time till you may now build a gadget this is as adaptive to at once changing circumstances because of the fact the human recommendations. a working laptop or computing device is for particular with the help of this is programming; thus far no computing device has been built that even comes close to to being waiting to think of creatively. this is important to a attempt against solider. What you will see is extra machines on the battlefield operated from a distance for issues like scouting and explosive ordinance disposal. Down the line you will discover authentic robots coping with issues like shifting ingredients alongside GPS-plotted routes or maybe coping with artillery fires. yet that's years away.

Tavor Assault Rifle

Tavor assault rifles were tested extensively through three years with field units, modified to respond to evolving requirements realized during actual combat engagements in urban combat and special operations. Tavor was selected to be the future assault rifle for the IDF infantry units, and the weapon of choice for the IDF future infantry combat suits, replacing various types of M-16, M-4 and Galil. In 2004 India became the second country to choose Tavor for its elite troops. Georgia reportedly selected the weapon for its special operations units.
