Advancements in technology help soldiers fight and defend more effectively, and below are the newest, weirdest techs being tested by the military.

Technology is developing in every field, even and especially in the military. Advancements in technology help soldiers fight and defend more effectively while keeping themselves safer. In this article, let’s take a look at the most interesting and the weirdest military techs out there.

The EZRaider

This is an off-road electric scooter under testing. It can carry over 180 kilograms on almost every terrain.

The Cerberus GL UAV

It’s a drone used for shooting grenades. The Cerberus GL UAV can carry three tear gas, smoke, infrared, flash, or explosive rounds. It’s under testing too.

DARPA’s self-guided bullet

This creation is .50-caliber ammunition that is able to change direction while flying after being fired. If this bullet does come to battlefields, it can help soldiers hit moving targets. It was tested in 2015 and we haven’t heard more about it since then.

Quantum Stealth Material

Created by HyperStealth Biotechnology, this material is a form of camouflage, redirecting light so that it’s more difficult to see a person. The material is especially effective in a low-light environment.

The Guardian XO

This creation is created by Sarcos Robotics. It’s essentially a robotic exoskeleton that will undergo testing later in 2020. It’s said to increase the wearer’s strength by 20 times in terms of lifting heavy objects.

A Laser you can hear

Right now, the Pentagon is working on a laser system with the ability to generate plasma balls containing your voice. The result is that you will be able to send a voice message to anyone, an intruder for example, without having to speak over a loudspeaker.

High energy laser tactical vehicle demonstrator

This is a 100kW laser weapon that’s created to defend against rockets and missiles. It will be carried on large vehicles.

The Guardian S robot

This is a robotic snake that can be useful in military intelligence gathering, bomb disposal, etc. It can move on walls, up and down, as well as almost everywhere else.

Mini Drones

Robotic flying insects have been under development for decades. There have also been efforts in making tiny bird-like drones that can fit in the human palm. For example, the Black Hornet Personal Reconnaissance System is useful in helping soldiers see from above or around corners.

The Interceptor

The Interceptor, created by Anduril Industries, is a drone that can kill other drones. The company behind this creation believes that the ultimate way to kill incoming attack drones is by using your own drones.
