Talons, Eagles and Enforcers - Quantum Tech & Acoustic Sniper Sensors in the New War
Holographic quantum technology and acoustic sniper sensors may sound like the stuff of science fiction films - but they are actually new defence technologies destined for the battlefield.
The Future Soldier event at London's National Army Museum blew open the UK's arsenal of the future.
Some of them on display were the Surveillance Target Acquisition and Weapon Sight system (Staws) and Enforcer Remote Controlled weapon system. The Staws system utilises advanced non-cooled thermal imaging technology.
Combined with a high-resolution daylight sensor, Staws provides a 24-hour all-weather surveillance and target acquisition capability.
Enforcer is designed to be fitted to a wide range of combat vehicles and can control anything from a 7.2mm general purpose machine gun to a 40mm automatic grenade launcher
