15 incredible military technologies
Mind-blowing advancements in military tech means that the battlefields of today and tomorrow are filled with cyborg bugs, invisible tanks, guided bullets and more.
- Micro-drones AeroVironment’s Wasp AE represents the latest evolution in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The Wasp has been used by the U.S. military for small unit work ranging from reconnaissance and surveillance to tactical intelligence. Hand-launchable at just 2.8 pounds and 16 inches from wingtip to tip, the new model flies 20 percent longer than its predecessor. Read moreread moreAeroVironmentShare

- Super soldier vision Innovega’s iOptik contact lenses sharpen real world vision while simultaneously simulating a 3D HD panoramic screen. The company hopes to gain FDA approval this year -- and the Department of Defense has recently placed an order for a prototype. Read moreread moreInnovegaShare
- Disposable satellites These satellites would let soldiers, airmen, seamen or whoever push a button on a handheld device to “see me” -- and receive an image of their exact location within 90 minutes -- an unprecedented capability currently unavailable from military or commercial satellites.
