Product Information

In addition, there’s great potential in developing something akin to Iron Man-style technology where we can create lightweight soft armor bulletproof shields powerful enough to withstand a high caliber firearm round as well as being able to resist explosive blasts from hand grenades and roadside bombs. That is one impressive body armor! Now, the OMFV is being designed to outfight comparable vehicles: the middle-weight, moderately well-armed and armored troop carriers known as Infantry Fighting Vehicles. It’s not being built to take on main battle tanks. That role remains that of the massively armored M1 Abrams main battle tank (MBT) – at least for now. So, if killer robots are not yet around the corner, what about that other mainstay of dystopian sci-fi – ray guns? Among them, the future of warfare is likely to come down to a handful of major factors: new technologies, new threats, the obsolescence of heavy armor, and the replacement of humans by drones, robots, and potentially cyborgs. A Quantum Arms Race This situation will change considerably once quantum computing becomes available. Compared to their "classical" counterparts, quantum computers rely on the superposition and entanglement of particles instead of binary digits (ones and zeros). This gives them the ability to compute multiple values simultaneously, which allows them to work incredibly rapidly and with astronomically high numbers.

The nature of that armour could be very different in future. Modern tanks and AFVs enjoy unprecedented levels of protection, but as armour evolves, so too do armour piercing weapons. Although adding more weight of armour brings incremental improvements, it hampers speed and mobility, as well as driving up both development and deployment costs. As DARPA’s Ground X-Vehicle Technology programme manager Major Christopher Orlowski recently said, it is now about defying “the ‘more armour equals better protection’ axiom that has constrained armoured ground vehicle design for the past 100 years”. Rinse, or buff - especially if it looks likely to rain afterwards, as neat product could be pulled off the bodywork in ugly streaks and then dry to an awkward finish. Not good. The Main Battle Tank became a mainstay during the 1970s when every advanced nation adopted a single model that would gradually replace all other variants. Different nations produced their own versions, including the US M1 Abrams, the Soviet-Russian T-80/ T-90, the German Leopard II, the French Leclerc, the Chinese ZTZ80/88 , the Israeli Merkava, the British Challenger 2, and others. As the only armoured vehicle conference dedicated to the area of survivability, the 2024 event will gather programme managers, capability directors, commanders from the military, senior engineers, chief scientists and platform managers from leading solution providers to discuss what nations are doing to protect their armoured vehicles and personnel. As part of the Challenger 3's layered protection, the fleet will also be the first to receive the best active protection system (APS) allowing it to recognise incoming threats and neutralise them. The tank will undergo full electromagnetic testing to ensure it is survivable in the most demanding of sensor saturated battlefields.The first UK Boxer will come off the production line early this year. The modern digitalised armoured vehicle will be made up of four variants: an Infantry Carrier; a Specialist Carrier; a Command Vehicle; and an Ambulance. Considerable research is also being directed towards making infantry units "invisible" to detection. Examples include " stealth sheet" technology that can mask thermal signatures and " invisibility cloaks" that allow troops to blend seamlessly into their environment. This will enhance the Army’s ability to compete, providing a constant global presence engaging with allies and partners, and building a modern force fit to face current and future threats.

Ocular Enhancement: Ocular implants of the future offer the potential to enhance sight, imaging, and situational awarenes s. By integrating circuits into the eye, soldiers see in other wavelengths (such as infrared), have enhanced night vision, discern movement more easily, identify targets, and project heads-up displays (HUDs) in their visual field. This invention proved ineffective as it could not withstand shots from newer rifles or machine guns; however, this did lead to improvements such as steel plates sewn into clothing on one side of the torso only because these areas were more susceptible to impact damage during World War I and II. Because of these emerging changes, it is difficult to predict what the battlefields of the future will look like. However, examining emerging technologies and changing dynamics does allow for some tentative conclusions and generalizations to be made. For many decades, the mainstay of the modern battlefield was the Main Battle Tank (MBT). Since the end of the Cold War, however, the MBT has faced many challenges that suggest its heydey could be coming to an end. By 2050, the ongoing process of one-upmanship between the tank and anti-tank systems may finally result in them becoming obsolete. As Britain prepares to send tanks to Ukraine in a military boost to the country, the British Army’s transformational industrial and equipment programmes remain at the very core of its vision for the future.These new light weight suits of soft armor and hard armor will let soldiers use these outfits to help provide more protection during battle and also prevent injury for those who are on the frontline. It is important that we prepare our personnel and police officers with the latest equipment possible so they can have advanced personal protection and stay safe while protecting us from harm. WHAT IS AN EXOSKELETON? Engineers are always looking for ways to make body armor lighter and more flexible, with a focus on developing materials that can be produced in large quantities. the aim is to develop body armor that soldiers will want to wear while still providing them the best protection available. Body armor could be a lifesaver when it comes to saving lives on the battlefield, but there needs to be awareness about how this type of innovation might change warfare forever if not used responsibly. These robots handle all kinds of duties, from transporting supplies and disposing of mines, bombs, and IEDs, to performing sentry duty, conducting reconnaissance, and providing fire support. These robotic systems are likely to become more common, more sophisticated, and fully autonomous in the future.

PIM is Paladin Integrated Management, the latest upgrade to the M109 howitzer, which entered service in Vietnam but has been almost totally rebuilt. An even more advanced Extended Range Cannon Artillery version is now in prototype). Unless cryptography keeps pace with computing in this domain, whoever achieves "quantum supremacy" first will have a window of opportunity on their hands. Until their adversaries can erect new encryption protocols to stop them, whoever achieves supremacy will be able to peak into everyone else's databases with impunity. Drones Everywhere! There have been advancements with main battle tank technologies that we are very, very excited about,” he told me. Those include AI-aided target recognition, low-recoil cannon, automatic loaders, active protection against anti-tank weapons, and signature management to make a tank harder to detect on infrared or by its radio-frequency emissions. “There’s just a whole bunch of things that are interesting and fun to think about,” Coffman said, “[for] how we can better wage war as we close with and destroy our future adversaries.” Predicting what armoured vehicles will look like is as difficult as forecasting the threats that they will face, but it does appear that the long-standing axiom is finally going to be laid to rest; the days of simply adding more armour are over.Other layers of defense could come from deployable hunter-killer drones and active camouflage (similar to the "invisibility cloak."). Gasoline engines will no doubt be replaced by high-capacity batteries or hydrogen fuel cells. And rather than crews of three or four, a combat vehicle could have one driver, be remotely operated, fully autonomous, or all of the above. These projects have another benefit, they represent huge investment in UK industry. Moreover, that investment is often made in parts of the country where our industrial expertise is strongest and in areas which are the focus of the government’s ‘levelling-up’ policy. The UK’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) James McGeary said: “Key design changes on the Challenger 3 provide a growth path to further increase the already enhanced lethality offered. These growth options will ensure that the UK remains at the forefront of Main Battle Tank design and can adapt and respond to future threats and challenges.” In terms of armaments, the more traditional cannon could be swapped for an electromagnetic induction gun (aka. a railgun) or a directed energy weapon (aka. a laser). Some robotic point-defense machine guns would also be helpful, and less-lethal measures like EMP charges, high-pitched sonic blasts, and other crowd-control measures could also be effective. Human Machine Interface Lasers and energy weapons are an area that both the Dstl and industry and are investing in at the moment.”
