In development ▪ US Mechatronics has produced a working automated sentry gun and is currently developing it further for commercial and military use. ▪ MIDARS, a four-wheeled robot outfitted with several cameras, radar, and possibly a firearm, that automatically performs random or preprogrammed patrols around a military base or other government installation. It alerts a human overseer when it detects movement in unauthorized areas, or other programmed conditions. The operator can then instruct the robot to ignore the event, or take over remote control to deal with an intruder, or to get better camera views of an emergency. The robot would also regularly scan radio frequency identification tags (RFID) placed on stored inventory as it passed and report any missing items. ▪ Tactical Autonomous Combatant (TAC) units, described in Project Alpha study 'Unmanned Effects: Taking the Human out of the Loop' - ▪ Autonomous Rotorcraft Sniper System is an experimental robotic weapons system being developed by the U.S. Army since 2005.[5][6] It consists of a remotely operated sniper rifle attached to an unmanned autonomous helicopter.[7] It is intended for use in urban combat or for several other missions requiring snipers.[8] Flight tests are scheduled to begin in Summer 2009.[5] ▪ The "Mobile Autonomous Robot Software" research program was started in December 2003 by the Pentagon who purchased 15 Segways in an attempt to develop more advanced military robots.[9] The program was part of a $26 million Pentagon program to develop software for autonomous systems.[9] ▪ ARV ▪ ACER ▪ ARTS ▪ BigDog ▪ Dassault nEUROn ▪ Dragon Runner ▪ MATILDA ▪ MULE ▪ R-Gator ▪ Ripsaw MS1 [1] ▪ RAAS ▪ SUGV ▪ Syrano ▪ Train Cable UAV (TCUAV) Is a combination of three concepts :Unmanned aerial vehicle(UAVs), Unmanned ground vehicle (UGVs),Train. ▪ iRobot Warrior ▪ Excalibur unmanned aerial vehicle ▪ Nöbetçi, Turkish Border Patrol Unit

    Of these, there is the AEGIS weapons system, which tracks and destroys enemy missiles, thus accomplishing AAW. The destroyer has 96 VLS cells used to launch SM-2/6 surface-to-air missiles and SM-3 anti-ballistic missiles, which contribute to AAW and Ballistic Missile Defense, along with close range weapons like the Mk 38 25mm Chain Gun and Mk15 Phalanx Close In Weapons System. The ship detects incoming air threats using the four SPY-1D radar systems, which can simultaneously track several targets at once while maintaining surveillance of the sky. The DDG 51 also uses advanced sensors for ASW, such as the AN/SQQ-89, which combines sensors such as Towed Array Sonar, Sonobuoys and hull-mounted sonar to help track and destroy enemy submarines, torpedoes or mines using Mk46 torpedoes. Additionally, the Arleigh Burke class employs two Mk45 5 inch guns to destroy shore targets and enemy surface ships.

    Since the introduction of drones in war, the NY Times claims that the “CIA have not committed one civilian fatality, while allowing the troop death rate to decrease dramatically.” During the constant bettering of machinery throughout the world, the use of technology has come to a halt when it comes to an unmanned aerial vehicle. Slowly proving to be more reliable than the average pilot, in the years progressing new found respect has been shown by doubting militaries. In a HALE UAV article written by Carlos Reyes he states that “drones can fly up to 60,000 feet, being able to steadily winds at 15 mph compared to 50 mph winds at 40,000 feet.”(Reyes) and are able to outdo a pilot by almost 10,000 feet, due to the -75 degree weather. Portrayed by the US State Department as drones being useless, the use of drones has relentlessly grown to underestimated levels. A drone is classified as being “a UAV that is able to be controlled and sustain flight for numerous amounts of time, by a remote control”. The art of flying an attacking airplane remotely has made a strong peace appeal to not only the military but the citizens of the United States as well. By allowing the use of Drones in war time tactics, the innovation through this "technological leap" will help decrease in civilian deaths as well as increase in terrorist fatalities.…

    Different martial organizations are a hazard to Americans: “Isis and al Qaeda pose an existential threat because they… “provoke domestic and global trends that endanger American values and way of life, and plan direct attacks against the U.S. and its partners” (Kagen et al. 14). Modern technology advances are giving Islamic terrorists an advantage on attacks. Drones are one of the newest military threats towards the United States Military. Because they are small, highly active, and low-cost, they pose the highest military threat. Currently, the United States military is attempting to detect the drones by listening for radio signals; however, because they are silent and programmed to carry out specific missions, it makes them much harder to find. As a matter of fact, “unmanned aircrafts are now ‘sufficiently inexpensive’ that the U.S. military must anticipate [that] some of them may be flown directly into U.S. troops or vehicles as part of an attack” (Lamothe 1). Since remote-control aircrafts are easy for anyone to lay their hands on, it can be difficult…

    Jean Piaget was an influential psychologist who created the Theory of Cognitive Development, which consisted of four stages. He believed that when humans are in their infancy, childhood, and adolescence, they try to understand the world through experiments. During cognitive development, children are little scientists that create experiments and conclusions on how to adapt to the world. By the time children become adults, they will be able to put into affect everything they have learned, and utilize the skills they need to live in this world. Assimilation is one of the methods in Piaget’s stages. Assimilation does not require a great deal of adjustment. Through the process of assimilation, new information is added to our existing knowledge base. As an illustration, in the situation that the young child is trying to understand why a “rock is sweating,” according to Piaget, the child has past experience of going outside in warm temperatures and perspiring. This perspiration relates the little boy to the water droplets on the rock. Ms. Ortega’s understanding of this observation can also relate her experience of going outside in the warm temperatures and perspiring.…
