War games: Military tech in the virtual world
Military shooters are big business in the gaming world, the most successful releases pulling in millions of players. This genre takes its inspiration from real military technology, but how accurate can it really be? Chris Lo talks to game developers to find out. Global Defence Technology Issue 11 This month we investigate how military technology is used to protect civilians from potential terrorist threats. Biometrics - redefining the phrase 'don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes' Accurate identification of targets, even in the most remote locations, is now critical to military operations. Dr Gareth Evans reports on how the ability to accurately identify friend from foe has, in as little as five years, gone from an unconventional and clunky add-on to an integral part of mission equipment and perhaps the precursor to an entirely new form of enemy surveillance. Countering CBRNe - staying a step ahead of evolving threats Asymmetric warfare has seen the CBRNe threat grow and evolve beyond conventional detection and defence methods. Berenice Baker examines how technology developed to address battlefield threats is being adopted to protect civilians against modern terrorist weapons of mass destruction and disruption. Close air support - 2011 in review Nato action in Libya in 2011 proved that close air support is an effective alternative to deploying an occupying force. Berenice Baker looks back at 2011 to see what can be learnt about the realities of close air support in conflict and what lessons need to be learned for conducting future conflicts in evolving battlespaces. |
