The New Battlefield
Problems have existed all throughout time on the battlefields of the past. There have been many problems including being easily seen, defending against airstrikes, and problems with infantry. But as the possibility of war increases, new steps must be taken to eliminate these problems so we will be able to defend ourselves. To neutralize many of these new threats, the problems of the past will be eliminated due to new technology. In the past, whenever their was a conflict, air and ground superiority was a must. This was because were heavily needed to bombard enemy strong holds to weaken them so ground forces could move in to finish the enemy off quickly. But one major consequence always came into effect, getting picked up on radar. This was a constant problem because jet fighters let off a lot of heat when weapons were fired; consequently, they were easily tracked and destroyed by heat-seeking missile. Another problem was that, when jet fighters were attacked by enemy fighters, the hard maneuvers the pilot would try to do to escape, would lead to blackouts. Fortunately, these problems have been eliminated do to the creation of stealth technology and innovations in flight suits. One of the new planes the United States in workin
To improve the chances of each phase of the Multi-Layered Missile Defense, the missiles used to intercept the enemy missile will be GAMS, GPS Aided Munitions,(GPS is the Globbal Positioning System which tells the precise location of everything that is on earth). By the implication of GPS into the missiles the chances of a hitting a target will be greatly enhanced. This is because GAMS calculate for Circular Error Probability which will guarantee that the missile will hit within 20 feet of its target, no matter where the missile is fired from. So because of this, the problems that were associated with defense from ballistic airstrikes have greatly been reduced due to the new Multi-Layered Missile Defense. This new suit will also provide much more armor and protection to the soldier. Out of all of the problems one of the most important ones was infantry. Infantry has "The greatest number of strengths and weaknesses."(Friedman, 203) Their major strengths are that they are the most agile unit on the battlefield, they are stealthy, they control themselves, they can react in any situation, and they can hide to escape enemy fire almost anywhere. But unfortunately, just as things have there goods, they have there bads. Infantry's major problem are that their armor can not stop a round larger than a standard rifle round. Their knowledge of their surroundings is limited to their vision, and compared to weapons which are guided, infantry's weapons are inaccurate and weak. Sweetman, Bill. "Top Gun." Popular Science.
