Weapons of Tomorrow

One of the most developing technologies of the future focuses on weaponry. The weapons being designed right now for the future are designed on the basis of making it safer for soldiers to operate. Soldiers safety is the most important aspect of designing weapons for the future. From guns which allow you to shoot from around a corner to planes that do not require pilots the opportunities are endless. 
Drones are being designed today to not only observe areas behind enemy lines without a pilot but even carry weapons to fire without being piloted from the plane. These drones are becoming more and more a part of the future because they limit the risk of pilots to be killed in action. The use of pilotless planes allows for the pilots to pilot the planes from thousands miles away and not behind enemy lines. On the other side of this technology the Boeing corporation has began creating a laser that can be mounted to a Hummer which is able to fry the computer system of a drone plane.


Engineers are now even creating remote control vehicles that are able to entire hostile environments prior to the entrance of soldiers. These remote control vehicles are not only equipped with cameras for surveillance but are now being equipped with weapons and robotic arms for bomb control. These vehicles allow for the soldiers to observe what is behind the door they are going to walk into and even take action with the vehicle before they enter. 
Nearly all of the weapons being created for tomorrows wars are being created to make soldiers jobs easier and safer limiting the amount of casualties. These weapons are changing the way wars are fought and will be fought tomorrow.
