In the future warfare will be much different. There will be new types of weapons and many of them much more deadly than before. One new weapon we are seeing in the near future will be robotic insect swarms, which operate much like the swarms, locust plagues or Hornets as the attack their prey. Sounds pretty science-fiction doesn't? Indeed, but the future is nearly upon us. Such robotic insect swarms will be very difficult to combat against. But there is away. How so you ask? Well, how about the chemical Fog bank? The troops in their base camp would set up canisters of chemicals, which would detect incoming insect robotic swarms and the canisters would stand up chemicals into the air Robotic insect swarms approach. Once the robotic insect swarms fly through the Fog Bank, the chemicals would disable them, melt them or destroy the electronic mechanisms or MEMS, which operate them. For large convoys or troop movements small unmanned area vehicles would fly 1/4 mile on either side of the convoy with the chemical canisters to deploy in case of any incoming robotic insect swarm. This would protect the troops and the convoy from the future new weapons of the modern Net-Centric Battle Space. Consider this in 2006 and support our troops. |
