| Summary/Abstract |
There are several generations of night vision (NV) devices (NVD) in use today. this article sheds s light on technology used and innovation on the market.
During the Cold War, as a young tank officer, I (John Antal) was trained to move and fight my tanks at night. During my first assignment to Germany in 1978, we illuminated targets at the tank firing range at Grafenwoehr, using mortar and artillery flares. We also had powerful whitelight and "pink-light" IR searchlights mounted on each tank to "turn night into day." The passive IR sights integrated into the fire control system of an M60A1 tank displayed fuzzy outlines of targets that were illuminated by the IR searchlights. As new developments in NV devices occurred, we were fielded better tanks with better NV equipment. In my four-year tour in Germany, the NV systems on my tanks evolved from IR searchlights to passive sights that did not require illumination by searchlights. By the time I commanded a tank company at the end of my tour of duty, my "newer" M60A3 tanks were equipped with the latest thermal
imaging systems and we engaged targets rapidly and accurately in total darkness. This was a remarkable transformation in fighting capability and emblematic of the rapid technological progression in the field of NV devices.

"We are literally at an evolutionery low in violence. State on state conflict is far less likely than it has been in the past. The problem is that other kinds of conflict, other kinds of violence, are exponentially more likely as technology spreades, as the information age allows aorganisations and individuals middleweight nations, if you will to have capabilities that heretofore were the purview of major nations states"

| Summary/Abstract |
South Korea takes its security issues very seriously. For years the Republic of Korea (ROK) relied on for eign military equipment, primarily from the US, but as the South Korean economy surged, ROK industries became leaders in military technology development and production. One of the areas that the ROK has excelled is in the area of unmanned robotic military systems. This article looks at some of the unmanned systems (UnS) currently developed by the South Korean defence industry.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the 21st century a modernized military force and waging war is expensive. As wars engulf the Middle East, Africa and the Ukraine – to mentions a few hotspots- military budgets in the US and many other nations are slashed as their economies can no longer sustain previously high expensive levels. something but, what? How? has to change.

| Summary/Abstract |
Everyone is talking about combat robots. From hollywood blockbuster films to the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, robots are a hot topic of discussion and an increasingly expensive part of military budgets of forces around the world. But, what can really be expected from them? Perhaps more importantly, what would we want them to do?

| Summary/Abstract |
Active denial technology, like the heavy expanded mobility tactical truck : Ray Gun" shown, give solders something more persuasive than shouting but less harmful than shooting when dealing with potentially hostile crowds. This state-of-art millimeter wave system developed by the joint non lethal weapons directorate, give soldiers something more persuasive than shouting, but less harmful than shooting, when dealing with potentially hostile crowds. US DoD experts displayed the system during a demonstration in March 2012
