5. INTRODUCTION
We believe that we are the superior being in this
entire world not just because of our creative
intelligence but also the potential to protect
ourselves ( or by eliminating our threats that
cease us to exist ) so the subject Weapon always
hints us first for ourselves.
Weapon is any device that can be used with
intent to inflict damage , or harm and thus
Weapon System is any integrated system, usually
computerized, for control and operation of
Weapon of any particular kind.

6. PRE-HISTORIC WEAPONS: The use of objects as Weapon
has been observed among the chimpanzees leading to
speculations that early hominids used weapons as early as
five million years ago.
The right adjacent picture shows the discovered artifacts of
around 300,000 years ago ( An array of neolithic artifacts
including bracelets, axe heads, chisels and polishing tools. )
ANCIENT WEAPONS: The earliest ancient weapons were
evolutionary improvements of late neolithic implements, but
significant improvements in materials and crafting
techniques led to a series of revolutions in military
technology. The development of metal tools began
with copper during the Copper Age (about 3,300 BC) and was
followed by the Bronze Age and iron age(around 1300 B.C. in
Greece, leading to the creation of the Bronze Age sword, first
defensive structures and fortifications as well followed by
design of Weapons to breach fortifications, horse-drawn
chariot ballista and the warships .

7. POST CLASSICAL WEAPONS: This era is also
known as post ancient era or pre-modern era of
significant development in weapon system phasing
modern era of bombardment , the most notable gift
from this era is considered as the development of
gun powder, trebuchet replaced with cannons and
the trajectories Weapons.

London.
MODERN WEAPON: Not sudden but the gradual
improvement of Weapon system through the
different events of Imperialism, World War I & II
and the technological advancement has carried out
soo far to the likely verge of self extinction. Today,
the Weapons are mass manufactured from the size
of pen to the size of rocket that has the potential to
erase the every life in the earth.

8. CLASSIFICATION OF WEAPON SYSTEMS
There are numerous Weapon system available today, so the very catchy will be
presented here on the based of its application, operating principle and the Nature
of its composition .
>>>TACTICAL WEAPON SYSTEM.
>>>STRATEGIC WEAPON SYSTEM.
>>>ANTI-SATELLITE WEAPON.
>>>MISSILE ( BASED ON OPERATING PRINCIPLE )
Weapon of Mass Destruction ( WMD ) will also be discussed as the defining
parameter concerning integral paradigm in Weapon system.

9. TACTICAL WEAPON SYSTEM
Tactical weapons system, system integrating tactical Weapons with electronic
equipment for target acquisition, aiming, or fire control or a combination of such
purposes. Tactical weapons are designed for offensive or defensive use at
relatively short range with relatively immediate consequences. It is non strategic
Weapon generally smaller in its explosive power, which is designed to be used
on a battlefield in military situations, mostly with friendly forces in proximity
and perhaps even on contested friendly territory.
Tactical nuclear weapons include gravity bombs, short-range missiles, artillery
shells, land mines, depth charges, and torpedoes which are equipped with
nuclear warheads. Also in this category are nuclear armed ground-based or ship-
borne surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) and air-to-air missiles.

11. TACTICAL WEAPON SYSTEM
UNGUIDED BOMB ( R ETAR DED BOMB )
The retarded bomb uses a mechanical method of creating increased aerodynamic
drag, such as a parachute, ballute, or drag-inducing petals. These deploy after
the ordnance is released, slowing its fall and abbreviating its forward
trajectory, giving the aircraft time to get clear of the blast zone when bombing
from low altitudes or with nuclear ordnance. However, these bombs are less
accurate than conventional free-fall bombs.
Generally the high-drag tail replaces the low-drag so that the same bomb can be
configured for either mode of attack during weapons preparation. High-drag
bombs can also be dropped in low-drag mode if the pilot selects this option in
the aircraft's weapon system, and will function exactly like a low-drag weapon.

12. TACTICAL WEAPON SYSTEM
J O I N T D I R E C T A T T A C K M U N I T I O N ( J D A M )
The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is a guidance kit that
converts unguided bombs, or "dumb bombs", into all-weather precision-guided
munitions. JDAM-equipped bombs are guided by an integrated inertial guidance
system coupled to a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, giving them a
published range of up to 15 nautical miles (28 km).
BACKGROUND PICTURE: JDAMs loaded under the left wing of a F-16
Fighting Falcon with a LITENING II Targeting Pod visible beneath the fuselage
BUTTOM PICTURE: GBU-31: A Mk 84 bomb fitted with JDAM kit
The JDAM is not a stand-alone weapon; rather it is a "bolt-on" guidance
package that converts unguided gravity bombs into precision-guided
munitions (PGMs). The key components of the system consist of a tail section
with aerodynamic control surfaces, a (body) strake kit, and a
combined inertial guidance system and GPS guidance control unit.

13. M I S S I L E S
In modern language, a missile, also known as a
guided missile, is a guided self-propelled system,
as opposed to an unguided self-propelled
munition, referred to as a rocket (although these
too can also be guided). Missiles have four
system components: targeting or missile
guidance, flight system, engine, and warhead

Backfire
Missiles come in types adapted for different
purposes: surface-to-surface and air-to-surface
missiles (ballistic, cruise, anti-ship, anti-tank,
etc.), surface-to-air missiles (and anti-
ballistic), air-to-air missiles, and anti-satellite
weapons.
TACTICAL WEAPON SYSTEM

14. TACTICAL WEAPON SYSTEM
SUR FAC E TO SUR FAC E MISSILE
surface-to-surface missile (SSM) or ground-to-ground missile (GGM) is
a missile designed to be launched from the ground or the sea and strike targets on
land or at sea. They may be fired from hand-held or vehicle mounted devices, from
fixed installations, or from a ship. They are often powered by a rocket engine or
sometimes fired by an explosive charge, since the launching platform is typically
stationary or moving slowly. They usually have fins and/or wings for lift and
stability, although hyper-velocity or short-ranged missiles may use body lift or fly a
ballistic trajectory.

15. TACTICAL WEAPON SYSTEM
S U R F A C E T O A I R M I S S I L E
Surface-to-air missile (SAM), or ground-to-air missile (GTAM ), is
a missile designed to be launched from the ground to destroy aircraft or other
missiles. It is one type of antiaircraft system; in modern armed forces, missiles
have replaced most other forms of dedicated antiaircraft weapons, with anti-
aircraft guns pushed into specialized roles.
Surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) were developed to
protect ground positions from hostile air attacks,
specifically high-altitude bombers flying beyond the
range of conventional antiaircraft artillery.

16. AIR TO AIR MISSILE
TACTICAL WEAPON SYSTEM
Air-to-air missile (AAM) is a missile fired from an aircraft for the purpose of
destroying another aircraft. AAMs are typically powered by one or more rocket
motors, usually solid fueled but sometimes liquid fueled. Ramjet engines, as used on
the Meteor (missile) are emerging as propulsion that will enable future medium-
range missiles to maintain higher average speed across their engagement envelope.
AAM are broadly categorized in two groups, mainly
Short Range AAM s ( SRAAMs) or Within Visual
Range AAMs (WVRAAMs) or “dogfight” missiles.
In contrast, medium- or long-range missiles
(MRAAMs or LRAAMs), which both fall under the
category of beyond visual range missiles
(BVRAAMs), tend to rely upon radar guidance.

17. AIR TO S UR FACE MIS S ILE
TACTICAL WEAPON SYSTEM
Air-to-surface missile (ASM) or air-to-ground missile (AGM or ATGM) is
a missile designed to be launched from military aircraft at targets on land or sea.
There are also unpowered guided glide bombs not considered missiles. The two most
common propulsion systems for air-to-surface missiles are rocket motors, usually
with shorter range, and slower, longer-range jet engines.
Guidance for air-to-surface missiles is typically
via laser guidance, infrared guidance, optical
guidance or via satellite guidance signals. The
type of guidance depends on the type of target.

18. STRATEGIC WEAPON SYSTEM
Strategic nuclear weapon refers to a nuclear weapon which is designed to be used
on targets often in settled territory far from the battle field as part of a strategic
plan, such as military bases, military command centre, arms
industries, transportation, economic, and energy infrastructure, and heavily
populated areas such as cities and towns, which often contain such targets.
Adjacent Right Picture: Fat Man was a strategic
nuclear weapon dropped on the Japanese city
of Nagasaki during the final stages of World War
II. It was the second and last nuclear weapon to
be used in combat. This nuclear strike killed an
estimated 35,000-40,000 people outright,
including 23,200-28,200 Japanese civilian factory
workers, 2,000 Korean slave labourers, and 150
Japanese combatants.

19. Intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is
a guided ballistic missile with a minimum range of 5,500
kilometres (3,400 mi) primarily designed for nuclear
weapons delivery (delivering one or more thermonuclear
warheads). Similarly, conventional, chemical, and
biological weapons can also be delivered with varying
effectiveness, but have never been deployed on ICBMs.

20. ANTI - SATELLITE WEAPON SYSTEM
Anti-satellite weapons (ASAT) are space Weapons designed to incapacitate or
destroy satellites for strategic military purposes.

destroyed P78-1 satellite.
ASAT Weapon destroys or interferes with
satellites, impeding a nation’s ability to collect
intelligence or direct attacks. Such a weapon can
be air, land, or sea-based.

the ASAT system attacking a satellite.

21. MISSILE ( BASED ON OPERATING PRINCIPLE )
C R UISE MISSILE
cruise missile is a guided missile used against terrestrial targets that remains in the
atmosphere and flies the major portion of its flight path at approximately constant
speed. Cruise missiles are designed to deliver a large warhead over long distances
with high precision.
Modern cruise missiles are capable of travelling
at supersonic or high subsonic speeds, are self-
navigating, and are able to fly on a non-ballistic,
extremely low-altitude trajectory.
Background Picture: Tomahawk cruise missile

22. Ballistic missile follows a ballistic trajectory to deliver
one or more warheads on a predetermined target. These
weapons are only guided during relatively brief periods of
flight—most of their trajectory is unpowered, being
governed by gravity and air resistance if in the atmosphere.
Shorter range ballistic missiles stay within the Earth's
atmosphere, while longer-ranged intercontinental ballistic
missiles (ICBMs), are launched on a sub-orbital
flight trajectory and spend most of their flight out of the
atmosphere.

23. Weapon of Mass Destruction is a Nuclear, Chemical, Biological, Radiological or
any other Weapon that can kill and bring significant harm to large number of
humans or cause great damage to man-made structures ( e.g., buildings ), natural
structure ( e.g., mountains ), or the biosphere .
Originally coined in reference to aerial bombing with chemical
explosives during World War II, it has later come to refer to large-scale
weaponry of other technologies, such as chemical, biological, radiological,
or nuclear.
The scope and usage of the term has evolved and been disputed, often signifying
more politically than technically.
Background Picture: World map with WMD hazard symbols superimposed on
it.

24. Nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its
destructive force from nuclear reactions,
either fission (fission bomb) or from a combination of
fission and fusion reactions (thermonuclear bomb). Both
bomb types release large quantities of energy from
relatively small amounts of matter.
Right Adjacent Picture: The mushroom cloud of
the atomic bombing of the Japanese city of Nagasaki on
August 9, 1945, rose some 11 mi (18 km) above the
bomb's hypocenter.
The first test of a fission ("atomic") bomb released an
amount of energy approximately equal to 20,000 tons
of TNT(84 TJ). The first thermonuclear ("hydrogen")
bomb test released energy approximately equal to
10 million tons of TNT (42 PJ).

25. Radiological Weapon is any form of Weapon
involving deliberate radiation poisoning or
contamination of the area with radiological
poisoning.
The fission products from a conventional nuclear
explosive weapon are as much a radiological
weapon as weapons solely designed for the purpose
of mass radiological warfare. The standard high-
fission thermonuclear weapon is automatically a
weapon of radiological warfare, as dirty as
a cobalt bomb.

26. Biological weapons (often termed "bio-weapons",
"biological threat agents", or "bio-agents") are
living organisms or replicating entities (viruses, which
are not universally considered "alive") that reproduce
or replicate within their host victims. Entomological
(insect) warfare is also considered a type of biological
weapon. Bio-weapon is a bacterium, virus, protozoan,
virus or fungus that can be used purposefully as a
weapon in bioterrorism or biological warfare.
Right Adjacent Picture: A culture of Bacillus
Anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax.

27. Chemical weapon (CW) is a specialized munition that
uses chemicals formulated to inflict death or harm on
humans. According to the Organisation for the
Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), "the term
chemical weapon may also be applied to any toxic
chemical or its precursor that can cause death, injury,
temporary incapacitation or sensory irritation through
its chemical action. Munitions or other delivery
devices designed to deliver chemical weapons, whether
filled or unfilled, are also considered weapons
themselves."[

used during World War I.

28. TERMINATION & CONCLUSIONS
Indeed as always, the Weapons are life taking gift we are proud of. As we
saw through the entire presentation, we noticed that weapons can be in any
form and any size respective of any composition. It was the best effort to
bring up all the weapon system in single event of this presentation since it
was the least effort to leave any of it. This presentation may vary in colour
used creating the confusion but to be sure that the proper colour integration
was purposeful and intentional to basically match the background colour to
the text so as to visualize clearly for reading.
