The Lockheed Martin x Rheinmetall GMARS rocket launcher features an all-weather design and is essentially a 24/7 missile artillery system mounted on an ultra rugged 8×8 HX truck
The United States Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) is currently testing a weaponized robot dog made by defense company Onyx Industries, equipped with an AI-powered rifle. This news isn’t too surprising considering that MARSOC is also testing Ghost Robotics’ quadrupedal unmanned ground vehicles.
The autonomous DARPA RACER robotic tank has officially entered the second phase of testing. RACER Heavy Platform (RHP) consists of 12-ton, 20-foot-long, skid-steer tracked vehicles designed to operate in complex, mission-relevant off-road environments that are significantly more unpredictable than on-road conditions.
Northrop Grumman’s Manta Ray Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle (UUV) prototype may one day replace submarines entirely. For starters, the submersible is payload-capable to support a variety of missions and fully autonomous to boot, which means it does not require any on-site human logistics.

There’s mosquito-zapping laser weapons, and then the UK’s DragonFire, a powerful 50-kW class laser that until now has been classified. This solid-state laser is made from bundles of doped glass fibers with their output turned into a single beam.
How about a 3D-printed Howitzer-style 30mm cannon that can actually fire projectiles? That is exactly what Flasutie created and the latter was made possible by oxyhydrogen (HHO), which is essentially a mix of hydrogen that occurs when water undergoes electrolysis.
The UK Armed Forces successfully tested their DragonFire Laser Directed Energy Weapon (LDEW) system against aerial targets. This laser weapon is capable of delivering a high power laser over long ranges with unmatched precision equivalent to hitting a £1 coin from a kilometer (0.62 miles) away.
Green Lantern’s Ring may be small, but it packs a big punch, as the piece of jewelry uses pure energy supplied by a Power Battery, but the Superlaser Siege Cannon from Star Wars is far larger. MetalBallStudios put together a fictional weapons size comparison video to showcase just how small and large they are when placed next to each other.
