Every day, different types of weapons that are used for any purpose, become more perfect. For this reason, engineers and technologists to work on the creation of high-tech facilities that would allow soldiers in the battle to protect and defend against “smart” missiles and bombs.

Recently, American scientists from the Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) announced the creation of a new type of armor plating and for military equipment, which would be able not only to determine the extent of damage, but also to provide military information on what type of weapons being fired by the enemy.

To achieve these goals TARDEC experts are going to “live” in the armor of a pair of sensors. Between these sensors is a kind of exchange – the first of which converts an electrical charge into the vibration and the other – on the contrary. If the damage the surface of the skin, this exchange is interrupted and the computer calculates where in the military vehicle or a bullet shell struck.

important to note that a piezoelectric sensor can determine not only the level of damage to armor and weapon type, which is by fire. Engineers plan to achieve this by using the same sensors.

information about what they shoot and from shoot in action can be very useful. According to the staff TARDEC, in the future we plan to equip high-tech armor, not only fighting vehicles, but also use it to protect the infantry and aircraft.

– IT-tales: Heavy Duty lasers – for war and for peace;
- Smart bullets would find and destroy the enemies of the United States;
- Video demonstration car reservation.
