What are the benefits of outside non harmful uses for military technology? Technology such as ariel photomosaic tech has civilian uses from helping urban planning, land use analysis, to traffic control and many other uses. Often when people think of military technology they think of its harmful effects, for instance, how it is used to inflict harm on people, or how much we spend on our military technology in the U.S. . The majority of people today think our funding in the military is bad, but few realize that military tech has purposes outside of war. Military tech isn't solely used for war purposes, lots of tech that exists today is developed from past military tech and has changed our lives ever since; from military tech to the tech we have and use everyday such as our smartphones, computers, cars, etc. they are not harmful; they are tools that help us get through everyday life. There are many benefits from the use military tech other than for war purposes or use for inflicting harm. Military tech has a vast variety of uses such as travel, medical, communicative, and other conventional/ non-conventional uses.
Travel Application Military tech has been applied for travel purposes such as the invention of the jet engine. The jet engine has both harmful and non-harmful uses; such as to drop bombs or to become the main components of aircrafts for travel at high speeds to reach a destination. Nazi Germany was the first country in the world to test fly the aircraft with
Some countries during World War Two realized this advantage of bombers and used it to great success. Examples of other times bombers like the B-29 were used was during the Blitz bombing on the Allies mainly in England (Swanston 110). These bombers were way less efficient than the B-29 bomber that came years earlier, but these bombings show that more than one country was taking advantage of the abilities of the bombers, even crude ones. The bombings that the B-29 and others of its kind took out were
One of the technologies invented in world war II was the jet engine. when was the jet engine invented. The jet engine was invented in 1941 by a scientist called Frank Wittyl. Event tho it was new innovative technology it spent most of its time in the war on the ground because of massive fuel consumption
The argument about having a strong economy or a strong military is difficult to answer because the economy support the supplies of the military and the military protects the nation in order to have a stable economy. This is a loop where the economy and the military help each other in order to sustain. If one has to choose one of them, it would be the economy because without the economy there wouldn’t be money in order to create weapons or supply the military. Even if the nation doesn't have a strong military, a strong economy would make this happen because money is what moves most of the nations around the world even if they don’t have a strong military; for example, Japan and China. Many people had argue of which power should be strong, the economy or the military; yet, after WW2 the United States has depended strongly on its economy in order to spend its fundings to the military and build a strong military over the years. A strong economy would help the military to become successful in terms of weapons and staff.
Technology isn't only a tool for warfare, technology can also be used to better the lives of average citizens. A common example of this is the development of CRISPR. CRISPR, also known as Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat, is a process used in bacteria; bacteria is commonly attacked by viruses which input a section of their
One common motive behind most of the technologies created, winning the war. Although war is not a guiltless, war motivated many countries starting a chain reaction of creation and prevention. Few innovations were for the betterment of the troops, rather for the betterment of the country as a whole. This led to devastating impacts both sides of the war.
One can make a few objective observations about this industry. Many technologies spurned from their original purposes provide a standard of living never achieved before. The high stakes of the defense industry drive innovation higher and faster than anything else in human history. These great achievements come at a great cost though. The introduction of new technology into the wars of the early 20th century caused loss of life on a scale never before seen. On the contrary, new technology has also transformed how we fight wars and steadily decreased casualties.
Technology is present in our daily lives. It could be used positively or negatively to impact daily life. Technology has been integrated into military weapons and spy gear, according to The White House “Our defense science and technology investment enables us to counter military threats and to overcome any advantages that adversaries may seek” (The White House 1995). Our government spends thousands of dollars on maintaining military advantages through science and technology. When our government spends that much money on technology, it helps protect the citizens, protect our country, and create peace in regions critical to the U.S. However, the U.S hasn’t always used our military advantages for the best. Our military have killed many innocent civilians targeting our enemy after September 11th and our military should pay for their war crimes like the government makes other countries pay for theirs.
The information revolution – an incredible growth in possibilities of receiving and passing on information, changed the way how the world is functioning so significantly that we are able to say that we are now living in the midst of the information age. Digital technology opened new possibilities to economy and had also big impact on most other areas of human life. Among them, conflicts and wars have always occupying important place. Through last decades the U.S. military were not only a beneficent but even a founder of the technological progress.[1] Demand for the technological superiority, the decisive factor in prospective war, were forcing
Military aircraft have become extremely technologically advanced and task specific throughout the history of air warfare. As soon as aircraft were put to use in warfare they became a necessity to win and advance. The biggest technological advances in military aircraft began after World War 2. There are planes designed for specific tasks such as air to ground combat, air to air combat, surveillance, bombing, mail carriers, and troop transportation. All of these different tasks performed by military aircraft play a key role in the success of our military.
Towards the end of the War the airplane becomes a practical device of war being able to carry weapons. Anthony Fokker and Louis Bleriot create the most successful of early modern biplanes known as the D-VII and D-VIII. Biplanes are eventually taken over by the monoplane, or one wing. This new design allowed for faster flight and better visibility for the pilot. Air-cooled engines lead the way for commercial aircraft, and Boeing introduces the first modern airliner the 247. Airplanes are effected the greatest by supply and demand of war. New styles of war begun to emerge so did new and improved types of aircraft. The population of the U.S. also begun to grow which leads to the modern most sophisticated commercial airliner the 777. Most aircraft improvements are found in the military and intelligence field. The most high tech aircraft known today for such things as spying are the SR-71 Blackbird, and the U-2 Spy plane. The most complicated and best aircraft performance is still held by the space shuttle and probably always will be. The last 200 years have seen incredible changes in aircraft from the man with wings to heavier than air flying machines that can travel at supersonic speeds.
Southern California can be a difficult area to recruit in. With its fast paced lifestyle it tends to be hard finding recruits that will commit one hundred percent. Technology and social media have changed people’s views and ideas about today’s military. Compared to ten years ago, information has become a lot more accessible to the everyday person. Now days photos and information are transmitted almost instantaneously which can have both a positive and a negative effect on the way the military is portrayed today. Although technology and social media can have its negative effects, it is what todays generation uses in their everyday lives to communicate. The first thing we do when we wake up is check our phones and from then on it becomes a part
This investigation will look to see how the advancements of the modern airplane during WW2 helped to shape civil travel today. This investigation will be looking mainly at secondary sources like sources of the planes themselves and histories or company who specialize in the modern aircraft, primary sources will be used only to tell of the handling of the plane themselves. This investigation will look at only airplanes and no other major types of travel. The investigation will not look to major battles or causes of
Allied bombing campaigns relied on the presence of escort fighters, and the Luftwaffe simply could not spare any from the Defense of the Reich campaign. Despite the abysmal state of the German air force, a glimmer of hope was present in the form of a new wonder-weapon: the jet engine. Turbojet aircraft could fly higher, faster, and longer than their prop counterparts, but were poorly researched and experimented upon at the time. Nevertheless, desperate for a wonder weapon, the Luftwaffe funded the development of the first jet fighter, the Me 262 Schwalbe, in 1942. Equipped with air-to-air rockets and a quadruple 30mm cannon pack, the Schwalbe was frighteningly effective in its role as an interceptor. Of course, it was entirely unsuitable for long-range bomber work. However, now that jet engines could be more easily produced, the Luftwaffe sought to revive the strategic bomber program, hoping to create an aircraft which could evade enemy interception with its superior speed and altitude. Thus, Hermann Goering announced that a military contract would be awarded to any manufacturer capable of producing a bomber with a range of 1000 kilometers, a speed of 1000 km/h, and a payload of 1000 kilograms. At the time, these requirements were nigh
Technology can be considered both beneficial and harmful to the people of the United States. It can help us connect with one other, find answers to mysterious questions, and entertain us in boring times. However, technology can also be addictive and interrupt our day to day lives. One of the biggest effects that technology has had one our country is the negative aspect.
The airplanes function as a scout was utilized expertly during World War I as trench warfare made it extremely difficult to obtain information on foot or horseback. This aerial reconnaissance played a major role to battlefield commanders and artillery teams, where “on the ground” information was used to plan troop movement strategies or to adjust artillery fire. These advantages eventually led to the realization that denying your enemy that same information was just as crucial as obtaining it, which led to the first of many aerial battles. The first main function of these “fighter” aircrafts were to shoot down enemy reconnaissance planes, but it was not until a Dutch inventor, Anthony Fokker, created a synchronization gear that allowed a machine gun to fire in-between the rotating
