Compared with traditional weapons, the new concept weapon is a high-tech weapon group, which is currently being developed and explored. It is significantly different from traditional weapons in principle, killing and destruction mechanism and combat mode. It mainly includes directed energy weapons, kinetic energy weapons and military robots.

> Directed energy weapon means that the energy of the weapon propagates in a certain direction, which has the effect of killing and destroying in a certain distance, but not in other directions. Such as laser weapons, microwave weapons and particle beam weapons. Kinetic energy weapons, such as kinetic energy interceptors, electromagnetic guns, etc., are weapons that can launch high-speed warheads and use the kinetic energy of the warheads to directly hit the targets; Military robots can be used to carry out combat missions and implement engineering support. New concept weapons currently being developed include cyber warfare weapons and non-lethal weapons.

Kinetic energy weapon: artillery should be thoroughly remoulded. Water cannon: the terminator of solid propellant artillery-liquid propellant artillery, also known as water cannon, is a new type of artillery with liquid propellant instead of solid propellant. At present, many countries are studying liquid propellant guns. Some experts predict that the birth of liquid propellant gun is a revolutionary development of gun technology and will replace solid propellant gun in future wars. > Compared with the solid propellant gun, the liquid propellant gun saves the shell and other devices, simplifies the structure, reduces the weight of the gun and the projectile, and improves the firing rate. The high energy of liquid propellant increases the muzzle velocity and range of projectile; Liquid propellant has strong stability, safe and convenient storage, and it is not easy to explode even if it is hit. Electromagnetic gun: it can launch all kinds of missiles. It is an electromagnetic driven launcher, which consists of guide rail, high current DC pulse power supply and switch. The two guide rails are connected by a slider, and the projectile is placed in front of the slider when launching. When the guide rail is electrified, it will produce a strong magnetic field. Under the action of strong magnetic field, the metal foil on the slider will be transformed into high-speed plasma, pushing the projectile to be launched from the guide rail. The biggest feature of the> electromagnetic gun is the high muzzle velocity of the shells launched. The railgun tested by the US Navy fired a 3-kilogram shell at a high speed of Mach 7, becoming a member of the fastest flying shell family in the world. Projectiles with high initial velocity have a long range and can attack long-range targets. At the same time, it reduces the flight time of the projectile in the air and can improve the shooting accuracy. It can also launch various missiles without flying with fuel like traditional missiles, which reduces the cost of missiles.

Military robot "dual-use" robot gun: high loading efficiency-can replace people to complete ammunition delivery, loading, launching and other tasks. The U.S. Army has developed a 155mm robot gun, and the turret of the M 109 howitzer is equipped with a robot ammunition conveying and loading system. & gt The system is driven and operated by hydraulic pressure, and consists of a manipulator, an automatic magazine feeder and a fast magazine feeder. The manipulator can easily grab a projectile weighing 45 kilograms. When shooting, the manipulator puts the projectile on the automatic projectile feeder, and the projectile feeder can fill three shells in 10 second, which is much faster than manual operation. Micro unmanned combat platform: there is no minimum, only smaller-with the rapid development of MEMS and micro-manufacturing technology, micro unmanned combat platform shows great application value. At present, the micro unmanned combat platforms studied in the world mainly include micro air vehicles and micro robots. > MAV has good concealment, and can be used for low-altitude reconnaissance, communication, electronic jamming and ground attack. The "MSI" UAV developed by the United States is a kind of micro air vehicle that can be launched by individual soldiers. Its length is less than 15cm and its weight is less than 18g. Because of its small size, it is difficult to be found even hovering near the air defense radar. At the same time of reconnaissance, it can also attack moving targets on the ground, which can be described as "dual-use". & gt Micro-robots can be divided into cm, mm and micron robots, which have certain intelligence, can perform controllable operations or collect information in micro-space, can accomplish tasks that ordinary people can't accomplish, and can be mass-produced at low cost. A micro-robot developed in the United States is only a few millimeters big and can detect nuclear, chemical and biological warfare agents. There is also a "wasp" micro-robot under development, which weighs only a few tens of milligrams, can carry a very small warhead and can spray corrosive liquid or conductive liquid to attack key electronic components of enemy equipment.

The weapon of cyber warfare: both offensive and defensive, the magic height is one foot-the destructive effect of computer viruses on information systems has attracted great attention from the military of various countries. Some countries are vigorously developing the equipment and means of attack and defense in cyber warfare, mainly including computer virus weapons, high-energy electromagnetic pulse weapons, nano-robots, network sniffing and information attack technologies. & gt In order to successfully carry out information attacks, foreign troops are still studying network sniffer weapons such as network analyzer, software-driven sniffer and hardware magnetic induction sniffer, as well as information attack technologies such as information tampering, stealing and cheating. U.S. Army: The birthplace of computer viruses-There are many kinds of computer network attack and defense weapons of the U.S. Army. The main offensive weapons are computer virus weapons, chip bacteria weapons and micro/nano robots. The US military invested $700 million in the "Virus Weapons Development Plan". Thousands of computer viruses, such as mail bombs and trojans, are forming a series and constantly introducing new ones. & gt In terms of hacker organizations, the US Department of Defense has set up a "red team" for information warfare. These organizations disguised themselves as imaginary enemies in the exercise and attacked their own information systems, thus discovering the structural hidden dangers and operational weaknesses of the system and correcting them in time. At the same time, it also invades other countries' information systems and networks, and even destroys each other's systems. Russian military: some technologies are ahead of the US military-> Russian military's computer network attack and defense weapons, especially cyber attack weapons, have developed rapidly because they are not greatly affected by military spending. Many virus weapons are developed to destroy or reduce the effectiveness of enemy information warfare systems, and some of them are ahead of the United States. For example, "remote wireless virus injection weapon" can be injected into the other party's computer network through radio channels or communication lines, posing a direct threat to its command center.

All kinds of non-lethal weapons Non-lethal weapons are weapon systems specially designed to incapacitate personnel or equipment, which can be divided into two categories: anti-equipment and anti-personnel. Super lubricant-a kind of chemical substance with very low friction coefficient, which is composed of oil-containing polymer microspheres, inorganic lubricants and other raw materials. It is mainly used to attack airport runways, aircraft carrier decks, rails, highways, bridges and other targets, and can effectively prevent aircraft from taking off and landing and trains and military vehicles from advancing. Super corrosive agents-are some chemicals that have super corrosive effects on specific materials. Imagine how terrible it is for a tank driver to soften the impeccable composite armor under the action of this corrosive agent! Infrasound weapon is a high-power weapon, which can emit low-frequency sound waves below 20 Hz, that is, infrasound waves, and can penetrate concrete with a thickness of 1.5 meters. Although it stinks, it can vibrate with human physiological system. At present, infrasound weapons are divided into nerve type and visceral organ type. The former can make people insane and crazy. The latter can make human organs vibrate, causing severe discomfort all over the body, thus losing combat effectiveness. Illusion weapon is a kind of laser device that uses holographic projection technology to project the related images, slogans and slogans of the space station to the clouds or specific space on the battlefield, which can be described as the most direct psychological warfare weapon. Its function is to psychologically harass, intimidate and disintegrate the enemy, so that they are afraid and tired of war, and then give up their weapons and flee the battlefield. Viscous foam-belongs to a chemical reagent, sprayed on people, immediately solidified, thus limiting action. The US military used a "toffee gun" in the operation in Somalia. The sprayed chemical adhesive can wrap people and make them lose their resistance. At present, the United States has developed the second generation shoulder-mounted viscous foam launcher.
