Future Weapons: 2010

Do to popularity I have decided to do another post about future weapons. 2010 has a lot in store for our people over sea's. The military has implemented some amazing new technology to help support, and protect our troops.

This post isn't he to discuss war, why we are at war, or if we should be at war. But rather give some idea of what the military is doing to protect the people we love, respect, and quiet frankly miss.

Today's post is about the latest and greatest in check point, and field operation security. The image you see to your left is a turrect mounted gun station. This paticuler setup is on vehicles and allows user to fire from within the safty of their vehicle. Heres a small quote form ArmyRecognition.com:

The Protector weapon control system protects military troops by allowing the vehicle's weapons to be operated from a protected position inside the vehicle.

Although this image shows a vehicle mounted version, Similar models are being design and tested for check point security stations. It is soon hoped that check points will be completely unmanned and have an arrangement of gun turrets as you see above.

Unnamed check points will allow operators to be anywhere in the world to secure check points and other items of use. This is just one of the many things they are doing to better serve out service men and woman.
