From the earliest matchlock handguns to the most modern and advanced automatic rifles, firearms have been carried by soldiers and used in combat for centuries. In the 250 year history of the United States, the weapons carried by American troops have evolved from primitive flintlock muzzleloaders, which had to be reloaded by hand after each discharge, to M4 carbines and Sig Sauer M7s - automatic-capable rifles that can fire hundreds of rounds in a single minute.

In September 1916, the first tank secretly made its way onto the fields of the Battle of Somme. The British had developed the technology and were ready to reveal it on the trenched and barbed wire battlefields of World War I. At the time, they did not prove to have the best track record, breaking down and unreliable, but the psychological effect the machines had on the German soldiers they were fighting was well worth the trouble.

Ukrainian soldiers sometimes accidentally jam their own drones in efforts to stop Russian ones due to overlapping frequency usage, complicating electronic warfare efforts.

The record-breaking shot was made on August 14 using AI under the guidance of a UAV complex with a 14.5mm Alligator rifle.

Military technology has significantly progressed from sword-fighting to AI-assisted drones and missiles, exemplifying the dramatic evolution of warfare over time.

One filing said that the Cybertruck is simply more capable than typical vehicles. The government believes Cybertrucks would be used by enemy forces because of their proven durability against gunfire.

Coulthart suggested the craft may have been operated psionically, controlled through advanced mental or neurological means, and could be the product of reverse-engineering non-human technology.

Burke's project demonstrates a robot's ability to autonomously program another robot's brain with minimal human input, showcasing advancements in generative AI models.

The assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh potentially involved a remote-controlled weapon, raising questions about the feasibility and implications of autonomous assassination technology.

Access to oil has historically determined the outcome of wars. In the era of unmanned autonomous systems, batteries and AI systems now represent the new competitive advantage.

The new Shahed-style drone could support the military's Indo-Pacific Command by providing a viable threat emulator and offering a low operational and maintenance cost compared to traditional munitions systems.

The device that took off in Texas, called the Roadrunner, was made by the Silicon Valley defense startup Anduril. By Pentagon standards, the Roadrunner is cheap (around a hundred thousand dollars apiece), and, if it fails to strike its target, it returns to base, ready to try again.

"The Chinese military, no different than the American military, will not seek each other's technology out to be built on top of it," he said during a recent interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria.

Researchers have developed a 74-milligram brain controller that turns bees into cyborgs, allowing them to be commanded to fly in specific directions. The bees obey commands nine out of ten times.

As a drone to surveil buildings, especially on the inside, I can imagine it being quite useful for video feeds," Herb Lin said.

The Raven missile system fires an air-to-air missile that has been adapted for ground-launch from a British 6×6 Supacat transport vehicle.

"For seven decades, the B-52 has stood as a symbol of American airpower. With its unmistakable silhouette and dual-capable nature, it serves as a visible and credible strategic deterrent for the United States and its allies."

We don't want our music killing people. We don't want our success being tied to AI battle tech,

Lt. Gen. Joseph Ryan commented on the obsolete capabilities of the AH-64D Apache helicopter, stating, "is not a war-winning capability that we can fight with and win today."

The Counter Communications System Meadowlands represents a strategic leap forward in electronic warfare, allowing a single operator to significantly increase satellite disruption missions.

Israel's military employs advanced laser technology to intercept drones, marking a groundbreaking achievement in the integration of directed energy weapons into air defense systems.
