The War And Technology

The War And Technology

From the first day that technology was introduced to war, it has helped shape the latter. Flint-made daggers and spears, and leather or wickerwork shields, did quite as much to shape the tactics adopted by ancient societies as horses did during the middle ages and as tanks, aircraft, and various combat ships do today. The invention is far away to future these technology is still remain you imagine if we face World war 3 What is your reaction ? You always scream don't do that  huh ! I cannot imagine if a war in today i think that will be a end of world because more country today have latest nuclear weapons and harmful weapons that means is very danger than before. in past technology is mean to kill a enemy and destroy people  those day is is beginning a future of weapons when Americans drop a Atom bomb in Japan that was the beginning of the most dangerous weapons today much more country have that kind of harmful weapons. 

Technology also helped determine which kind of formations were most suitable for fighting which enemies in what kind of terrain, under what kind of circumstances  thing those technology is to destroy the most enemy that is most of use of their technology the major ideology is to determine and kill the enemy that kind of technology is very danger because it kill human raises and make more and more disaster , you know about the disaster using dangerous weapons these weapons are made from the technology

Whereas weapons have always helped determine tactics, tactics in turn helped determine organization, operations, strategy, logistics, and command and control systems. All these were driven by the technology in use and, in turn, drove it along. Thus the relationship between the two-war and technology .the all technology is use to make a impact on enemy that why technology used that days

While the goal was always to win victory by means of technological superiority, some new and irresistible device, that goal was rarely attained. First, war is an imitative activity par excellence. To win, it is necessary to understand the enemy; to understand the enemy means learning from him and, to some extent, becoming like him. If only because any weapon used in war will inevitably fall into the hands of the enemy and be copied, technological superiority, even if achieved, rarely lasted for very long , you all know the early technology that was used to destroy and enemy with dangerous punishment that day is so so dangerous for all human rise when war has been started those days that means is a WAR is going before that they take all preparation and plans and latest tracks to destroy enemy those day before all that in military point of view they think not only skill but also necessary have latest technology and a weapon to destroy faster than faster in fact technology is create a platform and impact latter . You all know about Hitler he was not a human being i thing he is a perfect War machine to destroy the peace when world war 1st is lose the Germany and Hitler begin plans and tracks to payback Hitler began to plan a war and how to start war before he is fully prepare to face any war and he also prepare the latest and harmful weapons that destroy the human race, that mean is the technology is a important element in war those technology latter innovation to step up the future

Nuclear Weapons and Their Impact on War

You all know about success of Americans

A very important effect of developing technology was to enable war to spread into environments that used to be inaccessible to it. From the land to rivers, lakes and coastal waters; from coastal waters into the sea; from the surface of the sea into the latter's depths; as well as into the air and, most recently, into outer space. Generally speaking, no sooner does technology open any environment to human activity than that environment becomes the theater of warlike operations, either actual or planned. At times, so rapid was the increase that five years made all the difference. For example, the armies of 1918 would have sliced through those of 1914 like a knife through butter. The armies of 1945 would have done the same to those of 1939, and those of 1950 to those of 1945

      

Now, for the first time, a weapon had been built against which there was no effective defense. As more and more nuclear weapons were built, and as more countries acquired them, the outcome, to speak with the greatest of all nuclear strategists, Thomas Schelling, was that the link between victory and survival was cut, the dangerous using a Nuclear weapons it is very dangerous and harmful to human rises and living thing i think the coming War it may be completely destroy our wonderful Earth

Bernard Brodie, then a young teacher at Columbia University, understood the nature of the change almost at once,

A nuclear war would surely see a first strike and possibly a second strike as well Previously, though a victor might suffer losses as grievous as those suffered by King Pyrrhus in his proverbial triumph over the Romans in 279 BCE, he was at any rate assured that his forces and his country would survive. In a world where both sides had nuclear weapons, this no longer applied

Over six decades have passed since Hiroshima. During those decades, in every single region where nuclear weapons were introduced, large-scale war between the countries that possessed them has disappeared

weapons and delivery vehicles deployed, to fight a nuclear war if it came; in the end, however, the balance of terror always prevailed, those these days many terrorist have a dangerous weapons we can THE U.S.A is trying to destroy the terrorism and fight for the cleaning of terrorism now world was in danger U.S.A is a example for Humanity I think they will save our earth and human rises, i don't know what the America is thinking now ? We want to clean the terrorism those we save !

sixty-two years later, and in spite of the development of various of anti-ballistic missile defenses by various countries around the world, does it appear likely that the impact in question will be undone in the foreseeable future, you all know about anti-ballistic missile it is one of the dander and harmful . We saw the using anti-ballistic missile in Syria and Egypt it is very dangerous one

The American approach to military technology

Two developments probably explain the American love story with technology, and military technology in particular

·       Certainly until 1939 or even 1945, American technology, including military technology, tended to be as good as that of others but no better. The weapons it produced, such as combat aircraft and tanks and artillery and ships and submarines, were characterized not so much by top of the line performance as by the methods by which they were produced, the scale on which they were produced, and the price at which they were produced. As General Dwight D. Eisenhower put it, it was “Detroit” that won World War II for America; as one German officer allegedly put it, in an encounter between an American and German units, the Germans ran out of shells before the Americans ran out of tanks.

·       One outcome was that, at the end of that war, theaters of war the world over were littered with surplus American equipment. Rather than transport it all home, which would have been exceedingly expensive, the Americans either sold it to their allies on the cheap or else simply left it to rust

·       As to war in other parts of the world, the opposite was the case. Counting its allies, in Vietnam, in Gulf War I, in Serbia, and in Gulf War II, the U.S. actually enjoyed numerical superiority. Still, the notion that the U.S. was inferior in manpower-or, if it was not inferior in manpower, could not afford as many casualties as its opponents-persisted; to compensate, the U.S. would rely on the superior technology at its disposal. The idea was voiced by several secretaries of defense, including Robert McNamara, James Schlesinger, and Harold Brown. Its strongest advocate was probably Donald Rumsfeld during the heady days of the so-called Revolution in Military Affairs. He even set up an Office of Transformation to look after it; though just what it did was never quite clear.

·       Relying on superior technology, however, had its disadvantages. The more advanced the technology, the more complex it was and the greater the difficulties involved in its development

·       nuclear-armed opponents, such as the Soviet Union and China

·       Since 1945, the U.S. has engaged in four major wars. Out of these, one, Korea, ended in a draw. One, the First Gulf War, ended in victory. One, Vietnam, ended in defeat; the fourth, the Second Gulf War

Conclusion

·       Technology has always driven war, it one that the technology is helps faster than before in past technology is use for war purpose i think those purpose is a target to Enemy that was a reason in past technology is always dive a war is platform to war in kind the weapons is so harmful one , but now it completely change according to modern environment the modern environment is business motive and GDP and growth in this part so many new technology was used but those new technology was came by Significant invention and research this will determine the future of world in modern concept technology is drive the modern future and people 

·       role is shaping the War ,yes it is role to shaping a war if war is starts tomorrow we want to take and pan before this process is technology is hardly used  in pat and present, i think it will not change it will remain as world is running , in past it is a role is shaping a war for using advance technology for machine and weapons, in today not only shaping a war but also determine the future generation it is role in which we use the technology today more and more people across the world is used technology today for daily use that is a advantage using a technology 

·       technology is but one of the factors that shape war and determines its outcome, the technology is must one it will a big and wide weapons in universe the technology it will help to shape a war and outcome it is important to determine the future with technology anything possible it is the must and important concept i point of military or a nation, but now it slightly changes now technology is important factor not only war but also people and business now technology is closely interrelated one is free and friendly all are can access technology any point of time it is not limit it unlimited Now without technology the World is stuck 

·       the effect of technology has tended to increase, or help increase, the size of war, the power and speed with which it is waged, and the range at which it is waged

·       With the advent of nuclear technology, things changed. Provided enough bombs are available, war in its old sense, consisting of action, counteraction, an counter-counteraction, has probably become impossible; if not for all time to come, at any rate as far into the future as we can look at present. Provided both belligerents are nuclear armed, the purpose it serves has also become extremely problematic
