EMP

Electromagnetic pulse – generator


The electromagnetic pulse is a radiation surge that couples with electrical and electronic circuits and cause damage to the current and voltage of a device due to the resulting impact on both electric and magnetic fields.

In the earliest days of nuclear testing, the effects of the EMP are studied. In the year 1945, during the US operation starfish (by US military), the detonated nuclear bomb above 250 miles from the earth surface over the Pacific Ocean has discharged a electromagnetic radiation which effected Hawaii which is located 1445 km away. This explains the effect of the EMP on the power grid and all electrical and electronic appliances. The latter was nuclear electromagnetic pulse (NEMP). But at present each capable country has begun to include non-NEMP devices into its weapon arsenal.

After the US operation star-fish , Russia has also detonated a nuclear bomb over Kazakhstan which completely disrupted the power grid of the country which resulted in blackout of the country for weeks.

These detonations lead to the study of the EMP further and they lead to the invention of the non-EMP weapons, which are used to disrupt the enemy signal systems.

This weapons are used by USA in Iraq to capture Saddam-Hussein and they also used them in Afghanistan. 

Non- NEMP is a weapon generated EMP which is created without using a nuclear technology. This has gained a high importance in the military. They can be used to disrupt the enemy signal operating systems, radars and other security systems. With the security systems being crippled, the enemy cannot actually locate the troop’s incoming and they will be taken by surprise.

Snap-lock , Snaphance and flintlock

Snap-lock, Snaphance and Flintlock These three fire arms work under same mechanism. The difference is the protective measures development  in each of the fire arms. The order of the fire arms is snaplock snaphance flintlock percussion cap Mechanism: The operation works on the old concept of fire sparks ( when two rocks are rubbed against each other the friction between them causes a spark and eventually fire when the sparks are in contact with a dry grass or to be more precise, a conductor which ignites under a slight high temperature). The firearm consists of a flint material and a steel plate placed against each other. When the flint is held with a spring, potential energy is stored in the spring. When the trigger is released the potential energy is transferred to the clamped flint and the clamp moves forward and strikes the hardened steel producing sparks. These sparks flash pan travels through the touch hole and ignites the gun powder and boom.  T

MCIWS

Multi-Caliber Individual weapon system (MCIWS) MCIWS is a modular weapon system developed to meet future soldier requirements. The multi caliber concept allows user to choose the weapon as per the specific needs. Now this weapon system has not yet ben introduced, but this is a part of Future soldier development in INDIA. This rifle allows soldier to launch grenades. What is new? 1. Capable of firing different calibre ammunation by changing barrel group, breech block and magazine. 2. Provision for mounting Under Barrel Granade Launcher 3. Multiple Picatinny rails for sighting system and fore-grip. 4. Light weight and modular design 4. Fully supported engineering plastic magazine with metallic inserts 5. Push type magazine release mechanism 6. ONe time cocking 7. Adjustable butt 8. Ambidextrous   9. Advanced day/night sighting systems 10. Automatic electronic graticule set for selected caliber Air burst grenade firing capability. Tech specs: Cali

Howitzer

Field Howitzer Howitzer is an artillery weapon with relatively small barrel and used to throw projectiles at high trajectories.  At first these howitzers are fixed type and were not portable. They used to guard the fort walls and important building of a kingdom. The above picture shows a howitzer battery ( pre WW1, Denmark). Howitzers, like other artillery pieces, are usually organized in groups called batteries. Now talking about the field howitzers, they are portable in the war fields and usually accompanied by foot soldiers who assist fire to the howitzer. Early field howitzers used in 19th century - The howitzers used in the world war 1 are shown below:                                        BL- 15 inch howitzer   United kingdom 1914-1918                                                                                           Big bertha - German empire- 1914-1918 Range calculation: H= V^2 sin(a)/g V= velocity a= angle of el
