#The latest tech weapons the US might deploy in Syria Military action against Syria may have been put on hold, at least for now.

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

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.

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.

In response, the EU-funded MCD project has developed three new weapons against them a special coating that transfers insecticides effectively to mosquitoes landing on it,

That limits their usefulness for applications like weapons and chemical detection and medical imaging and diagnosis, says Jay Guo,

but no one yet has found the smoking gun, says Mike Lamb, an assistant professor of geology at California Institute of technology (Caltech).

#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.

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,

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.

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 printed just 3d 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

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.

That is among the criteria laid out in a November 2012 U s. military directive that guides the development of autonomous weapons.

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.

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.

#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,

the icrowave gunis capable of ensuring perimeter defense at 360 degrees. his type of weapon is directed known as a-energy weapon (DEW),

The weapons focus on emitting highly focused energy to a target in order to damage it. Aside from microwaves

The microwave gun is evidence of plans by Russia to modernise its armed forces, though, according to Business Insider.
