Abstract
History of the firearm dates back as far as the 1400’s with smaller guns that did not shoot very far. The firearm has always been a work in progress though as the United States military evolved slowly by using cannons and rocket launchers. The cannons and rocket launchers were quickly transformed into moving weapons by placing them on tanks, ships, and aircraft. The use of rapid fire weapons also started to emerge quickly after we had tanks, ships, and aircraft destroyed. This paper will explain how science and technology has affected weapons and how the military conducts war. Technology has made a tremendous impact on modern warfare in the military. Science technology has provided the military with some amazing tools to use for combat. The rocket propelled grenade is one of those amazing tools as well as improvised explosive devices which come in three different forms. Science technology has also provided the military with useful tools such as; man-portable air defense systems, the reconnaissance satellite, …show more content…
The RQ-2 Pioneer is an unmanned airborne automobile that was used by the “Marine Corps, Navy, and Army from 1986 until 2007” (UAV Global. 2014). The RQ-2 Pioneer was originally positioned on board battleships and was meant to offer munitions locating, but its primary duty progressed over time. Primary functions included; weaponry locating and attainment, manage secure skies, scouting and observation, combat damage appraisal, exploration and liberate, and completes psychosomatic procedures. These models were very light weight and could carry their weight in explosives. These Drones did a great deal of damage, but were replaced a few years later by the newer Shadow
