Ten years ago the United States of America would have had been considered the most powerful military in the world. Unfortunately, there are terrorist’s that believe that the U.S. military is not. With the recent attack that brought down the “Twin Towers”, American people have been pondering the strength of the military as well. The U.S. military has to surpass all countries in research and development. By doing that, the U.S. will make itself the most superior military force in the world. The most devastating aspect of the battlefield is death. Recent wars have proven this but it seems as time goes by the death toll does as well. There is currently a variety of research and development underway to lower this right now. One of them is called the “Radar Scope”, which gives a soldier the ability to see through walls. DARPA expects the scope to be sent to squads conducting building searches. The device has the capability to sense movements, even breathing, through 12 inches of concrete and 50 feet further into room. This device alone will cut back on deaths with the advantage of knowing where people the door is broke down. An even more advanced version of this device is in the making. It is called the “Visi Building” and it will be able to actually see through many walls to give of location of people as well as objects. Visi Building will improve surveillance by allowing people to drive or fly by to see inside. Even though the Visi Building is years away from use, it is certainly a step in the right direction. Another way to lower the death toll is by incorporating robots into the tasks undergone in the field. The Special Weapons Observation Reconnaissance Detection System engineered a weapons a platform on a Talon robot. The weapons can be exchanged with the M16, 240, 249, or 50 calibers, or a 6mm rocket launcher. The soldiers will then operate
