FUTURE MILITARY WEAPONS study guide
The document discusses future weapons technologies and proposed solutions for regulating them. It describes how anti-matter and lethal autonomous robots (LARS) could become new types of powerful weapons. Anti-matter could provide energy equivalent to atomic bombs, while LARS could target autonomously without human oversight. To address concerns over these technologies, some propose a total ban on researching or creating such new weapons systems. However, imposing a complete ban faces obstacles, as powerful nations may not agree to restrictions and treaties have been broken before. Effective monitoring and consequences for noncompliance would need to be established for a ban to potentially work.
CSBA Changing The Game
This document provides an overview of directed-energy (DE) weapons and their potential to provide operational advantages for the U.S. military. It examines emerging DE technologies like high-energy lasers and high-power microwaves that could be deployed in the next 5-20 years. These include ground-based lasers to defend bases, ship-based solid-state lasers to counter missiles and fast attack craft, and aircraft/missile-borne high-power microwaves to attack enemy air defense systems. While the technologies are maturing, cultural and funding barriers have prevented transition to military capabilities. Successful demonstrations of major new DE weapon systems may be needed to prove their value to military leaders.

The Science Of Grenades (Power Point)
Hand grenades are handheld weapons used by military forces that allow soldiers to kill enemies and destroy equipment. There are different types of grenades that serve various purposes on missions. Historically, the most important type is the fragmentation grenade, which is a soldier's personal indirect weapon. A hand grenade works by having a safety pin and lever that, when released after throwing, activates a striker and delay element that ignites the filler and causes it to explode or burn after a few seconds. Grenades have a body to contain the filler and fuze assembly that detonates the filler. Soldiers are trained to safely hold, throw, and employ grenades at a short range to allow time to avoid the blast.

Unit 101, Israel - Bane of Israel's Enemies
Unit 101 was an Israeli special forces unit founded in 1953 by Ariel Sharon on orders from Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion to retaliate against Palestinian violence against Israeli civilians. It was the first IDF unit to receive orders directly from military command rather than a lower sub-command. Unit 101 conducted operations targeting bases and villages used by infiltrators, but its attack on the village of Qibya in 1953 that killed around 70 civilians led to the unit being disbanded in 1954 and merged into the Paratroopers Brigade.
Tsunami Bomb - Weapons Getting Nasty
The U.S. military conducted tests in the 1940s called Project Seal off the coasts of New Zealand and New Caledonia to test the feasibility of creating tsunamis with explosives.
