Stimulant use has long been commonplace in the military, from Incans given coca leaves before battles to Allied soldiers using amphetamines during World war Two,

because the army is a huge incubator for innovation and entrepreneurship. The army gave us a few million dollars at the age of 18

#The latest tech weapons the US might deploy in Syria Military action against Syria may have been put on hold, at least for now.
But as the US military has been gearing up for operations in Syria in response to the Assad regime's alleged use of chemical weapons,
as previous military campaigns have shown, US military commanders often see new conflicts as an opportunity to use recently developed weapons.
In some cases, these offer unique capabilities, such as destroying stockpiles of chemical weapons. Employing exotic new weaponry can also offer the opportunity to demonstrate that the investment of significant sums was spent money well.
Agent Defeat Weaponsthe US military has for many years been working on weapons designed specifically to target sites believed to house weapons of mass destruction, such as chemical or biological weapons.
#The Air force has confirmed it has two such systems in its inventory. The CBU-107 Passive attack weapon (PAW) is essentially a weapon casing packed with thousands of penetrator rods with no explosives.
the F-22 Raptor, has yet to see combat. While Air force officials have argued the highly manoeuvrable aircraft with stealth technology would be useful in dealing with Syria's sophisticated air defence systems and surface-to-air missiles,
critics point out it is designed primarily as an air-to-air fighter. Another issue is that flight restrictions on the F-22 were lifted just earlier this year after concerns over pilot oxygen deprivation,
if the Air force pushes for it, the F-22 may still get its first outing during the forthcoming conflict.
the Air force has conducted classified work in high power microwaves for years, and some suspect it already has such weapons available.#

#Unmasking organised crime networks with data Military software engineers have developed a program that can predict the social structures of street gangs.
Philip Ball explains how it could help fight crime. One of the big challenges in fighting organised crime is precisely that it is organised.
That why police forces are keen to discover how these organisations are arranged to map the networks that link individual members.
such as guerrilla forces in areas of civil war. These kinds of organisations tend to be composed of affiliated cells, each with its own leader.
A team at the West point Military academy in the US state of New york has released just details of a software package it has developed to aid intelligence gathering by police dealing with street gangs.
There are many reasons why this sort of information would be important to the police. The ecosystem structure of a gang can reveal how it operates.
police will often monitor the rival gang more closely because of the likelihood of retaliation. But gangs know this,
Understanding such alliances helps the police stay a step ahead. Mapping highly influential members of a social network has been done many times before for example
But if police can identify him, they can then monitor him more closely. Complex netherworld In developing Orca, Paulo Shakarian, a West point graduate and sometime adviser to the Iraqi National Police,
and his co-workers, have drawn on the large literature about mapping social networks. This body of work which has grown rapidly over the past decade,
Shakarian and his colleagues tested Orca using police data on almost 1, 500 individuals belonging to 18 gangs, collected from 5, 418 arrests in an undisclosed district over three years.
and the police told the West point team that one racial group was known to form more centrally organised gang structures than the other.

#Turkey launches airstrikes against Kurds, ISIS in Iraq and Syria Turkish fighter jets have struck Kurdistan Workersparty (PKK) and Islamic State (ISIS) targets in Syria and Iraq yesterday.
as Ankara deployed military force for the first time against the terrorist group. Official Turkish sources confirmed Turkish F-16 warplanes based in Diyarbakir,
The leadership of Iraq Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) has condemned Turkish air strikes against positions of Kurdish fighters in its autonomous region,
The Turkish air force said that PKK training facilities, shelters and antiaircraft batteries were targeted in the five camps.
In a coordinated move, Turkish police have been rounding up hundreds of suspected Kurdish fighters in cities
Turkish police fired water cannon and teargas to disperse about 1, 000 demonstrators who had gathered in the capital Ankara to protest against military strikes in Syria and northern Iraq.
While the airstrikes were launched Turkish heavy artillery located in the border province of Kilis fired at ISIS positions in Syria.
Turkey is also to allow the US-led coalition to use its Incirlik airbase and other bases in the south of the country to conduct strikes against Isis. According to media sources allied combat missions from the base could begin in August.
Additional airbases in the nearby cities of Diyarbakir and Batman will be opened to allied planes for emergencies.
Coalition air forces that have been ongoing for almost a year are operating from bases in Cyprus and the Persian gulf
because until now Turkey has refused to authorise offensive operations from its bases against its neighbours. Apparently, the devastating ISIS linked suicide attacks and PKK-linked assassinations of Turkish policemen last week have changed Ankara attitude.
The US military flatly denied reports in the Turkish media that the deal with the US included the establishment of a no-fly zone in northern Syria, a longstanding demand of the Turkish government
which the US had resisted. Turkey has also been planning to create a buffer zone in Syria, along its border with Syria,
since the beginning of the Syrian Civil war but the coalition partners have objected such move. The Turkish move could also be a sign of Ankara resentment of the U s. resorted backing for the PKK-affiliated People Protection Units (YPG),
