#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,

US military commanders often see new conflicts as an opportunity to use recently developed weapons.

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.

Here are some of the latest weapons or types of systems that may end up being used:

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.

Using conventional weapons on such facilities runs the risk of spreading highly toxic substances, so the Pentagon has funded a number of

what are called"agent defeat 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.

which can penetrate containers filled with chemical weapons, and allow them to drain into the ground to minimise dispersal.

The Crashpad ruptures chemical weapons stores with blast or shrapnel and contains white phosphorous to incinerate chemical agents.

Spy Satellitessatellites have long been used to track weapons of mass destruction, and the US has been investing heavily in new eyes in the sky.

High Power Microwave Weaponsimagine a weapon that can knock out all the computers in a Syrian military command centre without killing a single person.

That's the idea behind high power microwave weapons which are designed to destroy electronics without causing any physical damage.

and some suspect it already has such weapons available.##Cyber Weaponsin 2010 the Pentagon set up the US Cyber Command to coordinate

Printing Missiles Researchers at Raytheon Missile Systems say they have created already nearly every component of a guided weapon using additive manufacturing, more commonly known as 3-D printing.

With commercially available high-end equipment and specially modified versions of low-cost 3-D printers, company researchers have created nearly every component of a guided weapon using 3-D printing,

things we couldn achieve with any other manufacturing method. ne of the new areas in weapon 3d printing is warhead design and manufacturing.

a materials engineer for the U s army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) said. The limits on what can be produced using machine tools limit warhead shapes.

and assemble missiles on the spot, in the same way that artillery crews custom-load their rounds or weapons handlers mount guidance kits on some types of bombs?

The researches have used shotgun metagenomics before to detect bacterial pathogens in contemporary and historical human material.

The synthetic platelet-like particles use the same trigger and so are activated only when the body s natural clotting process is initiated.

To create that trigger researchers followed a process known as molecular evolution to develop an antibody that could be attached to the hydrogel particles to change their form

Because that blood lacks the triggers needed to cause fibrin formation the particles had no effect.

#World s first 3d printed metal gun Solid Concepts 3d printed metal gun. The first 3d printed gun was the Liberator pistol.

Then came the Grizzly, a 3d printed rifle. Now a third one has surfaced, and it s a doozy.

This one is printed entirely out of metal and the gun s design was copied from a classic 1911 model.

Video)##The company behind the new 3d printed gun is called Solid Concepts, and like the creator of the Liberator pistol, they re based in good ol Texas. Now,

to be fair, Solid Concepts states that they didn t print their gun for any nefarious reasons.

They simply wanted to show the world that metal 3d printed objects can stand up to the pressures of everyday use.

That said, Solid Concepts does have a federal firearms license, so it s not like they just randomly settled on printing a gun either.

The 3d printed metal gun was constructed using a laser sintering process capable of shaping tougher metals like stainless steel.

It s not exactly an at home desktop 3d printing technology, so hobbyists won t yet be capable of replicating this sort of weapon at home.

That s reassuring, since the folks at Solid Concepts have fired already successfully their handgun 50 times without it failing. 3d printers capable of printing metal are#on the rise,

meaning that guns like the one Solid Concepts created#may#become something you ll be able to just print up over the weekend in the days to come.

Also of note, the gun which was just 3d printed was old enough that its design was public domain.

That means that the people who do already have the equipment to 3d print a gun have quite a few design options at their disposal

many of which are capable of much more destruction than a simple handgun. Via Dvice Share Thissubscribedel. icio. usfacebookredditstumbleupontechnorati swfobject. embedswf (http://www. youtube. com/v/u7zykmbdm4m&

Israel and China, are already using partially autonomous weapons in combat and are almost certainly pursuing other advances in private, according to experts.

Still, the line between useful weapons with some automated features and robot soldiers ready to kill can be disturbingly blurry.

The Army is testing a gun-mounted ground vehicle, MAARS, that can fire on targets autonomously.

'The next generation of futuristic weapons has arrived. The U s. Navy announced that its high-tech laser weapon is ready to disable

The 30-kilowatt laser weapon system (Laws) is housed aboard the USS Ponce, a naval vessel stationed in the Arabian Gulfa body of water located south of Iraq that separates the Saudi arabian peninsula from Iran.

"We ran this particular weapon, a prototype, through some extremely tough paces, and it locked on

The sailors who tested Laws reported that the weapon worked well even in high winds,

The data collected from these trial runs will be used to develop new laser weapons for the Navy under the Office of Naval Research's Solid-state laser-Technology Maturation program.

These weapons are sought after because they don require highly explosive gunpowder or pressurized gas to destroy enemy targets,

making them safer for military personnel to operate. And since all they require is a steady supply of electricity,

laser weapons may also be more reliable than conventional weapons. Of course, the U s. military is also pursuing this new breed of weapons for economic reasons.

Laser weapons cost less to build install and fire, compared with multimillion-dollar missiles, Navy officials said."

MIT engineers have turned now a powerful new weapon on these superbugs. Using a gene-editing system that can disable any target gene they have shown that they can selectively kill bacteria carrying harmful genes that confer antibiotic resistance or cause disease.
