, China Net Community, the new concept weapon is a high-tech weapon group relative to the traditional weapons, and it is currently being developed and explored. It is significantly different from the traditional weapons in principle, killing mechanism and fighting mode. It mainly includes directed energy weapons, kinetic energy weapons and military robots.

> Directed energy weapon means that the energy of the weapon propagates in a certain direction and has the effect of killing and destroying in a certain distance, but not in other directions. Such as laser weapons, microwave weapons and particle beam weapons. Kinetic energy weapons, such as kinetic energy interceptors and electromagnetic guns, are weapons that can launch high-speed warheads and directly crash into targets by using the kinetic energy of warheads; Military robots can be used to carry out combat missions and implement engineering support. New concept weapons currently being developed include cyber warfare weapons and non-lethal weapons.

kinetic energy weapon: artillery should be "thoroughly remoulded" and "water cannon": the terminator of solid propellant artillery-liquid propellant artillery, also known as "water cannon", is a new type of artillery with liquid propellant instead of solid propellant. At present, many countries are studying liquid propellant guns. Some experts predict that the birth of liquid propellant guns is a revolutionary development of gun technology and will replace solid propellant guns in future wars. > Compared with the solid propellant gun, the liquid propellant gun saves the cartridge case and other devices, simplifies the structure, reduces the weight of the gun and the projectile, and improves the firing speed; The high energy of liquid propellant increases the muzzle velocity and range of projectile; Liquid propellant has strong stability, safe and convenient storage, and it is not easy to explode even if it is hit. Electromagnetic gun: It can launch all kinds of missiles. It is a launching device powered by electromagnetism, which consists of guide rail, high-current DC pulse power supply and switch. The two guide rails are connected by a slider, and the projectile is placed in front of the slider when launching. When the guide rail is powered on, a strong magnetic field will be generated. Under the action of the strong magnetic field, the metal foil on the slider will be converted into high-speed plasma, which will push the projectile and launch it from the guide rail. > The biggest feature of electromagnetic gun is the high muzzle velocity of the shells launched. Rail gun, who was tested by the US Navy, fired a 3-kilogram shell at a high speed of Mach 7, becoming a member of the fastest-flying shell family in the world. Projectiles with high initial velocity have long range and can attack long-range targets. At the same time, the flying time of the projectile in the air is reduced, which can improve the shooting accuracy. It can also launch all kinds of missiles, and does not need to fly with fuel like traditional missiles, thus reducing the cost of missiles.

Military robot "both civil and military" robot gun: high loading efficiency-it can replace people to complete tasks such as bomb delivery, loading and launching. The U.S. Army has developed a 155 mm robot gun, which is equipped with a robot ammunition conveying and loading system on the turret of the M19 howitzer. > The system is driven and operated by hydraulic pressure, and consists of a manipulator, an automatic projectile conveying disc and a fast projectile conveying machine, etc. The manipulator can easily grab a projectile weighing 45 kg. When shooting, the manipulator puts the projectile on the automatic projectile conveying disc, and the projectile conveying machine can fill three shells in 1 seconds, which is much faster than manual operation. Micro unmanned combat platform: there is no smallest, only smaller-With the rapid development of micro-electromechanical and micro-manufacturing technology, micro unmanned combat platform shows great application value. At present, the micro unmanned combat platforms studied in the world mainly include micro air vehicles and micro robots. > Micro air vehicle has good concealment, and can perform low-altitude reconnaissance, communication, electronic jamming and ground attack. The "MSI" UAV developed by the United States is a micro-aircraft that can be launched by a single soldier. It is less than 15 cm in length and weighs less than 18 grams. Because of its tiny size, it is difficult to be detected even if it hovers near the air defense radar. At the same time of reconnaissance, it can also attack ground moving targets, which can be described as "both civil and military." > Micro-robots can be divided into cm, mm and micron size robots, which have certain intelligence, can perform controllable operations or collect information in micro-space, can perform tasks that ordinary people can't complete, and can be manufactured in batches at low cost. A micro-robot developed in the United States that can detect nuclear, chemical and biological warfare agents is only a few millimeters big. There is also a kind of "wasp" micro-robot under development, which weighs only a few tens of milligrams, can carry a very small warhead, and can spray corrosive liquid or conductive liquid to attack key electronic components of enemy equipment.

cyber warfare weapons: both offensive and defensive are one foot high, while the magic is one foot high-the destructive effect of computer viruses on information systems has attracted great attention of the military in various countries. Some countries are vigorously developing equipment and means for cyber warfare attack and defense, mainly including computer virus weapons, high-energy electromagnetic pulse weapons, nano-robots, network sniffing and information attack technologies. > In order to successfully carry out information attacks, foreign troops are still studying network sniffer weapons such as network analyzer, software-driven sniffer and hardware magnetic induction sniffer, as well as information attack technologies such as information tampering, stealing and cheating. US Army: The birthplace of computer viruses-The US military has a wide range of computer network attack and defense weapons, and its offensive weapons mainly include computer virus weapons, chip bacteria weapons and micro/nano robots. The US military has invested 7 million US dollars in the "Virus Weapons Development Plan". Thousands of computer viruses, such as mail bombs and Trojans, are forming a series and constantly bringing forth new ones. > In terms of hacker organizations, the U.S. Department of Defense has set up the "Red Team" of information warfare. These organizations pretend to be imaginary enemies and attack their own information systems in the exercise, so as to find out the structural hidden dangers and operational weaknesses of the system and correct them in time. At the same time, it also invades other countries' information systems and networks, and even destroys each other's systems. Russian Army: Some technologies are ahead of the US Army-> Russian military's computer network attack and defense weapons, especially network attack weapons, have developed rapidly because of little influence from military expenditure. Many virus weapons have been developed to destroy or reduce the effectiveness of enemy information warfare systems, and some of them are ahead of the United States. For example, "long-distance wireless virus injection weapon" can be injected into the other party's computer network through radio channels or communication lines, posing a direct threat to its command center.

A variety of non-lethal weapons Non-lethal weapons are weapon systems specially designed to disable personnel or equipment, which can be divided into two categories: anti-equipment and anti-personnel. Super lubricant---------------------------a chemical substance with very low friction coefficient, which is compounded with oil-containing polymer microspheres, inorganic lubricant and other raw materials. It is mainly used to attack airport runways, aircraft carrier decks, rails, highways, bridges and other targets, and can effectively prevent aircraft from taking off and landing and trains and military vehicles from advancing. Super corrosive agents------------are some chemicals with super corrosive effect on specific materials. Imagine what a terrible thing it would be for a tank driver to soften the invulnerable composite armor under the action of this corrosive agent! Infrasound weapon is a high-power weapon that can emit low-frequency sound waves below 2 Hz, that is, infrasound waves, and can penetrate concrete with a thickness of 1.5 meters. Although it smells bad, it can vibrate with human physiological system. At present, infrasound weapons are divided into two types: nerve type and visceral organ type. The former can make people insane and crazy. The latter can make human organs vibrate, causing severe discomfort all over the body, thus losing combat effectiveness. Illusion weapon-is a laser device that uses holographic projection technology to project relevant images, slogans and slogans from the space station to a specific space on the cloud or battlefield, which can be described as the most direct psychological warfare weapon. Its function is to psychologically harass, intimidate and disintegrate the enemy, making them afraid and tired of war, and then giving up their weapons and fleeing the battlefield. Viscous foam----------belongs to a chemical reagent, which is sprayed on people and solidified immediately, thus restricting their actions. The U.S. military used a "toffee gun" in the Somalia operation, and the sprayed chemical sticky agent can wrap people and make them lose their resistance. At present, the United States has developed the second generation of shoulder-mounted viscous foam launcher.
