Seeing Differently is a Critical Skill for Tomorrow’s Inventors

“We remain well on track to meet all the new targets laid out in July”

-John Browning

Ah, the US government known well for its military power is the most funded in the world. From the pistols on our troops to planes that can fly worldwide without landing. We try to make our equipment go farther, faster, and hit harder. With the war in Ukraine happening America went into pre-war mode. Making new firearms, ammo, armor, and vehicles and giving them to Ukraine to test in battle. Let’s take a look at what the troops are carrying. First, we have XM7 created by SIG. It’s the new squad weapons program to replace the M4 family. Shooting a 6.8x51mm round instead of a 5.56x54mm. Giving the gun a fatter and longer round allows for longer engagements and the impact stopping the target faster. The central part of the squad weapons program is the gun can be changed on the field to fit the situation you have an assault rifle and a sniper starts firing at a distance you can switch to a long rifle to pick him off or switch to an LMG and suppress him. Then switch back when the assault rifle. It’s easy to take apart and put back together with an average time of a minute and a half. They are being deployed later this year for infantry, medics, and tankers units.

Next is something that is being used in Ukraine and is causing massive damage to the Russians and it’s a howitzer shell called The Excaliber that can be somewhat guided to land on target even if the target is moving. 155mm and 2 and a half feet tall with even more accuracy raining death more effectively. WWI technology is still effective and now modernized is only better. Compared to the Russians with rocket artillery from the early 2000s that isn’t even guided they point, shoot, and hope. Last I’ll be talking about the new B-21 Raider which is the new stealth bomber. Already the stealth bomber was able to fly around the world now doing it with less fuel making it cheaper and allowing for more weaponry on the plane. As well as flying higher for better stealth. Making the plane even more deadly than it originally was. *Grandfather clock goes off* Well that’s all the time we have today I hope this gave you a small glimpse of what we have made for the military but there’s a lot more stuff that we are making with the war. Ukraine has become its new testing ground because war never changes. *Helicopter landing outside* Well that’s my ride I hope you have a good morning, afternoon, and good night. *goes through the red door.*
