Summary/Abstract |
The 21st Century has come up with new innovations such as improvedand new types of ammunition, advanced aiming systems, and multi-calibre ability. As weapons evolve, the delicate balance for assault rifle systems between power, weight, recoil and terminal effects will likely shift once again in an attempt to defeat body armour, to match the range of full-power cartridges, and to penetrate through wind shields and thinskinned vehicles while still producing good terminal effects. This is an overview of 21st Century assault rifles.

Summary/Abstract |
So many sensors now populate the battlefield that there is almost no portion of the electromagnetic spectrum unexploited by imaging devices operating in the visual, near IR, short, medium and long wave IR, and even ultraviolet wavebands. IR sensors, however, are now so widespread that managing thermal signatures has become as important as visual camouflage. As with stealth at sea and in the air, however, benefits are generally analogue rather than digital - people and things are not either visible or invisible, rather they are more or less visible at varying ranges. This means that small improvements in signature management can give the side that possesses them a significant advantage.
