During World War II, which necessitated the production of war equipment, defense engineering played a crucial role. It would be impossible to defend a nation against its enemies without the assistance of experts. Up until this day, the entire world has benefited from their knowledge and abilities. That being said, Read more
Manufacturing has changed enormously over the past few decades. Automation, robotics, improved machine guarding and more sophisticated monitoring systems have transformed production environments. Yet manufacturing still involves people working alongside machinery, handling materials and carrying out physically demanding tasks. In sectors such as defence manufacturing, where precision machining, component assembly, Read more
Travelling to Iceland in winter can be an incredible experience, however, the weather conditions can be harsh and unpredictable.

Turbojet engine is an air-breathing gas turbine engine that – much like rocket engines – produces forward thrust using the impulse generated by its exhaust gases. Turbojets are commonly used in military aircraft that require high velocities over short ranges. Pratt & Whitney JT3D, J58 (Lockheed Martin Blackbird), F135 (Lockheed Read more
The recent North Korean testing of its nuclear-capable Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), Hwasong-14, has left most of the nations on the edge, especially the United States. N. Korea now threatens to target Guam, a US West Pacific Island with a population of more than 160,000. It even triggered a chilling Read more
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) – forty years ago – invented with a new technology called ARPANET, which transferred digital data packets between computers through a virtual network, and replaced the conventional point-to-point telecommunication circuits. And therein lays the genesis of the Internet. DARPA was founded in the Read more
Defence technologies are mutating at an unbelievably exhilarating speed, faster than any other industries. The health of military technology often influences the growth of other allied or even unrelated fields. But scientists and engineers cannot be satisfied by mere drones that can fire or exoskeletons that can lift heavy weights. Read more
The US Navy’s next generation supership/aircraft carrier USS Gerald R Ford will skip an important test and be commissioned next month. As of June 1, the ship completed two sets of acceptance trials, which are tests conducted by the US Navy Board of Inspection and Survey to examine whether the Read more
Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV) is all the set to take Defense technology in the United States of America to an advanced level. NGCV, which is still in its conceptualization and prototyping stages, is being built as a possible, smaller, more agile replacement for the M1 Abram or M2 Bradley, Read more
Interest of military forces and law enforcement agencies in non-lethal biochemical weapons has witnessed tremendous development in the recent past as progress in technology in science has appeared to provide the assurance of innovative non-lethal weapons, used in a wide variety of militarily and politically threatening situations. These weapons, also Read more
