- About a thousand companies and start-ups around the world are busy making Osho. Artificial intelligence, robotics and Internet-of-things technology are going to be widely used in the military in the future.

Ever since we were little, we have seen laser beams in 'Star Wars' and many other Hollywood science fiction movies. We've seen a lot of scenes on screen where enemies face-to-face with laser shafts, a glowing pillar of laser shooting out of nowhere and debuffing the target. The news is that the idea of ​​laser weapons is about to turn into reality. Israel has already developed the Iron Beam anti-missile laser system, which will be put into practice in the near future. This is such a powerful system that it could be a game-changer in the military world.

Israel currently uses the Iron Dome system to repel enemy airstrikes. The biggest minus point of the Iron Dome system is that it is extremely expensive. Suppose Hamas fired a rocket at Israel and fired an interceptor missile in front of Israel and destroyed it in the sky, how much did the act of firing an interceptor missile cost Israel? Around 50,000 to 1 lakh dollars i.e. about 42 to 84 lakh rupees, only. To Israel's credit, it has developed and successfully tested an innovative iron beam anti-missile laser system capable of intercepting space rockets at a much lower cost last year. What is this iron beam system?

It looks like a giant lens of a tostanchap camera. He unleashes a powerful cane and deflects an aerial attack. The range of ion beam is 7 to 10 km. An iron beam laser cane produces enough energy to explode 24 grams of TNT (trinitrotoluene) per second. In other words, as much energy as one and a half kilos of dynamite explodes every second is released from this iron beam shell. If the enemy has launched a missile, rocket, drone or any other aerial, this iron bean targets it and flies towards it with tremendous force and destroys it in the air. Iron Beam's laser-beam targeting is so sharp that it can focus and blow up even a one-rupee coin at a range of up to ten kilometers!

If an iron beam cane hits a missile-rocket-drone etc. from the sky, it becomes disoriented and 'wounded' and loses its effect. However, this is not possible in the case of some types of drones (eg, Kamekazi) and rockets. A laser-fragment of an iron beam falls on it, even if it misses the target, but its destructive power remains intact. As a result, if he eats at place 'B' instead of 'A', he eats there too. Yes, so much so that the key and sensitive space is spared.

This is the reason why Israel does not want to completely scrap its current defense system and replace it with an iron beam system. The intention is to keep the existing Iron Dome missile defense system operational and add the Iron Beam system to it. So it will happen that this new iron beam system will do all the work of the missile or rocket that escaped from the iron dome defense system. The range of iron dome system is 4 to 70 km, while the range of iron beam system is 7 to 10 km. This iron beam system is best for blowing up short range rockets and mortar bombs coming from the enemy. A single 'shot' of iron beam laser-cut would only cost around a couple of thousand dollars. Either fifty thousand to one hundred thousand dollars of an interceptor missile used by the Iron Dome system or two thousand dollars of a shot of an iron beam laser-bone! Iron beam and other laser defense systems like it are sure to become more common in the future. Iron Beam Defense System has been termed a 'game-changer' in the world of military technology.

That being said, let's also see what kind of trends will be seen in military technology in the near future. Currently, around a thousand companies and start-ups around the world are busy making Osho. Osho's market is huge and powerful beyond our imagination. America alone has allocated half of 130.1 billion dollars for Osho's research and development in its latest budget.

In the future, the use of artificial intelligence and robotics in the military will gradually increase. An estimate is that by 2025, the global market for military robots will touch $24.2 billion. It is obvious that as the use of robots increases, the number of human-soldier casualties decreases. There are many things that robots can do better than humans. Like a human-soldier gets hungry, gets sleepy, has to sleep for a few hours. Robots have no such need. He can stay awake 24 hours a day and work without the slightest bit of fatigue. Its speed of processing information is many times faster than a human, say, instant.

Machine-humans are fine, machine-dogs are also working. Robotic dogs have already been deployed on the US-Mexico border to patrol the entire border. (Remember that episode of Netflix's wacky web show 'Black Mirror' with the dangerous robotic dog?) It is clear that such machine-humans and machine-dogs are much more dangerous than humans. That is why 30 countries like New Zealand and Austria are against such autonomous weapon systems. However, it is not America that counts such opposition.

Advanced hypersonic systems to be implemented in the near future. A speed at least five times faster than the speed of sound (i.e. more than 761 kilometers per hour) is called hypersonic speed. Hypersonic missiles can fly at relatively low altitudes, and secondly, existing missile defense systems cannot intercept them. America, China and Russia have all raced to develop hypersonic weapons systems. If the Ukraine-Russia war does not stop until next March, understand that the very first hypersonic missile is to be used during this war.

If our mobiles and computers are victims of cyber attacks, think how much more the threat of cyber attacks on military systems is. In this era, cyber security means national security. Cyber ​​attacks are gradually taking the form of war. Hackers and cyber terrorists attack the electric grid and communication systems of other countries. It is estimated that by 2025, cyber attackers will have weaponized operational technology that will enable them to carry out horrific carnage.

The talk of 'Directed Energy Weapons' will also increase in the near future. These weapons convert electrical or chemical energy into concentrated radiated energy. Others have a visible trajectory, while directed energy weapons are mostly silent and invisible. How to deal with weapons that do not appear or sound!

Apart from artificial intelligence and robotics, the 'Internet of Things' will also play an important role in future military technology. The 'Internet of Things' is, simply put, a technology in which different devices can 'talk' to each other and exchange data. For example, in the Internet of Things, your mobile phone, your home AC, smart refrigerator, smart TV, smart watch, different remote controls, etc. are connected and can communicate with each other. This technology will be widely used in future destructive weapons.

All this sounds exciting to hear and read, but the truth remains that this technology is not only used to cause destruction, but also to cause destruction. What a perversity to maintain non-violence and peace by creating weapons of mass destruction that kill hundreds of thousands of lives in an instant!
