Moore's Law and the Military

[PoliticalChic]

1. "Moore's law is the observation that over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years. The period often quoted as "18 months" is due to Intel executive David House, who predicted that period for a doubling in chip performance (being a combination of the effect of more transistors and their being faster)."

2. But Moore's Law can be essentially generalized to mean that technology gets better and better, and products get smaller and smaller.

3. It can be seen in military hardware: WWII bomber, missiles, smart missiles, drones......and now, insect sized miniature drones with limitless potential.

4. View the following video to see micro air vehicles....M.A.V.'s:

Did all note the reference to 'urban battlefields'?

Surveillance?

Targeting?


5. "Development is driven by commercial, research, government, and military purposes; with insect-sized aircraft reportedly expected in the future....Although there are currently no true MAVs ...."
