According to the websites and particular articles I have read it appears that military technology needs help. The articles I read are all about getting the soldier out of harm’s way. They all seem to be about new technologies that work with robotics, drones, or special technologies mounted on a military vehicle. These technologies try to make military tactics autonomous by removing the troops from dangerous situations. One article is about MIT creating a technology for soldiers to see through concrete walls. This would allow them to survey buildings before entry, and when mounted to a vehicle the soldiers could do this remotely. Another article is about the development of drone aircraft. These aircraft can allow for surveillance, engaging targets, and even dropping off supplies. This technology again allows for the removal of a human life from the spoils of war. Popular Mechanics has an article about the use of robots for the removal of humans in tactical operations. These robots can be used for bomb disposal, reconnaissance missions, riot control and even delivering supplies to soldiers. This is only a few dangerous and handy chores that soldiers have done for years. This kind of technology changes the way wars will be fought. It also drives for better consumer goods, because with the advancement of military technology brings the consumer technology advancement as well. Another trend I noticed was that technology needs to be cheaper to allow for more of it in the place of combat.
