Project Proposal
Codrin and I propose to examine the intricacies of recent and future military technological achievements. I'm sure many of you have heard of some of the newer innovations currently in use (such as the unmanned predator aircraft), but there are many more that are not so commonly covered. As an additional topic, we may also delve into the relation between military and civilian technologies and the link therein. There have been many military inventions that have been retrofitted for everyday use, just as there have been some purely civilian inventions that have been seen as useful to the military. As such, we propose to delve into these subject areas.

PEW PEW LASER BEAMS!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fruitful topic. I'd also be interested in not just the fancy weapons tech but in the why of it. Why make unmanned drones, laser beams, etc? How is the US military fitting itself out for 21st C conflicts? WHY is it gearing up the way it is? Seems you'd have to get into larger cultural issues there -- warfare with loosely affiliated paramilitary organizations versus nation-to-nation conventional war, etc.
