20:46 GMT, 2 june 2015 Air force bosses have revealed they hope to have a hypersonic plane capable of crossing countries in minutes by 2023.
Air force Chief Scientist Mica Endsley told Military. com that the Air force and DARPA, the Pentagon's research entity, plan to have a new and improved hypersonic air vehicle by 2023.
Previously bosses had said only they hoped that missile systems would be available for testing in 2020.'
'Our goal is to make sure the Air force has the knowledge in 2020 or over the next five years to be able to make acquisition decisions using this technology,'Kenneth Davidson,
manager of the hypersonic materials development at the Air force Research Laboratory had told Military. com Carrying a small, conventional warhead,
a hypersonic weapon could be used as a stand-off missile, so the military could strike targets at a safe distance without putting pilots and aircraft at risk.'

The test marked the fourth and final flight of an X-51a by the Air force
The Advanced Hypersonic Weapon is part of a program to create a missile that will destroy targets anywhere On earth within hours-travelling at speeds in excess of 3,
including the Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept and the Tactical Boost Glide, both of which have scheduled test flights for 2018 or 2019.
'We are the Air force. What do we want to do with this technology? We want to weaponize it,'Ryan Helbach,
an official with the Air force Research Laboratory, said last week during an exhibition at the Pentagon to showcase various military research projects.'
'The follow-on program to this is the High speed strike weapon effort. It's taking a lot of the lessons learned and the technology and moving to a weapons acquisition.'
'The technology is also the subject of an arms race between the US, Russia and China.'
'Certainly, the U s. is not the only country involved in developing hypersonic weapons,'Mica Endsley,
the Air force's chief scientist, said in a recent interview with Military. com'They (China) are showing a lot of capability in this area.
With a hypersonic weapon, you could do that same thing in about 30 minutes. You can go great distances at great speeds.'

#Russia is developing a'MICROWAVE GUN':'Weapon can shoot a drone out of the sky from six miles away, claims military official By Jonathan O'Callaghan for Mailonline Published:
13:55 GMT, 16 june 2015 Updated: 18:14 GMT, 16 june 2015 A Russian military official has claimed that they have developed a icrowave gunthe high-frequency weapon can supposedly disable an unmanned drone and even a missile from up to six miles (10km) away.
The weapon apparently deactivates the radios of UAVS and warheads, causing them to lose control. Designed for the surface-to-air BUK missile system, the gun was developed by Russia United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation (UIMC.
Informally named the icrowave gun it will be unveiled as part of the Russian Defense Ministry Army-2015 international event in Moscow in the coming days.
Aside from the six-mile (10km) range, the gun can also apparently operate in a efense perimeterof 360 degrees.
It would be used on missile systems on the ground, to target unmanned planes in the air. By directing high-frequency microwaves towards a target, it is theoretically possibly to destroy unprotected electronics.
The gun would use a'reflector antenna'to focus the microwaves created by a generator.
An unknown'transmission system'would fire the beams towards their target. No other technical specifications have been given
so it unclear exactly how the weapon would work. he new system is equipped with a high-power relativistic generator and reflector antenna, management and control system,
and a transmission system which is fixed on the chassis of BUK surface-to-air missile systems, a UIMC spokesperson told Sputnik News. hen mounted on a special platform,
the icrowave gunis capable of ensuring perimeter defense at 360 degrees. his type of weapon is directed known as a-energy weapon (DEW),
and several have been developed before. The weapons focus on emitting highly focused energy to a target in order to damage it.
Aside from microwaves this can also include radio waves, lasers and even sound waves. The microwave gun is evidence of plans by Russia to modernise its armed forces,
though, according to Business Insider. Hundreds of drones are planned by the Kremlin to enter service by 2025,
while they are also developing a new advanced tank called Armata T-14 that has ceramic armour. 1

Gauss guns, magic bullets, and magnetic millibot surgeons Sometime around the turn into the 20th century, medical extraordinaire Paul Ehrlich coined the word zauberkugel
when H. G. Well epic 1938 thriller The War of the Worlds was broadcast to an unsuspecting American public.
We are not referring to a deadly kind of bullet that often follows a highly contorted trajectory.
Instead, we are talking about a device fired by a much more controllable kind of gun namely,
something called a Gauss gun, after the famous mathematician of the same name. Similar to a coil or rail gun, a Gauss gun linearly accelerates an object using electromagnetic fields.
It can also be configured to store potential energy in the positions of objects inside its bore,
and Pierre Dupont have built a proof-of-principle Gauss gun that could propel a tiny device they call a millibot throughout the body.
The key insight made by the researchers is that the coils of an MRI machine could be used to implement a Gauss gun.
The Gauss gun would enable tiny devices to breach barriers between fluid chambers or even go through solid tissue itself.
The beauty of the Gauss gun is that the MRI magnets do everything position the components,
We asked corresponding author Pierre Dupont directly what the Gauss gun could put out. He said that they have demonstrated already up to 15mm penetration depth into a brain tissue phantom using an 18gauge needle.
when devices like the Niobe eventually add beefy Gauss gun style attachments, remote robotic surgery will have entered a new era.
The fine membranes that separate these spaces are precisely the targets a Gauss gun could work on.

the juice thus forms a very thin film over the tank walls. Utilising the tank entire surface area,
including the cover, enables the tank volume to be reduced by more than a third. So this design not only saves space,
it also ensures energy economies, since thanks to the lesser volume needing to be evacuated smaller vacuum pumps can be installed.
