What technology we use today come from Military?

Have the word said “Many Technologies and Innovations around the world. Most of them are come from the Military, because War is an important variable to driving, creating and developing new technologies and inventions that far beyond imagining.

For only one reason to win the wars from many lessons that we learned in the past which we can see clear examples; War World 1, War World 2, Cold War, etc.

After the ending of the wars, various technologies and inventions from the Military have been developed and continuously developed until it is widely used and commonly seen.

Some of them have an important role and most influence our daily life, but have only a few people know about that, even through wars brings loss to life and property.

and What is War/Military Technology?

War/Military Technology is the application of technology for use in warfare.

The line is porous; military inventions have been brought into civilian use throughout history, with sometimes minor modification if any, and civilian innovations have similarly been put to military use. I will focus on Technologies and Innovations in present times which have an important role and most influence our daily life that originates from the Military in 21 st Century. Examples;

1. The Internet

The Internet or World Wide Web (W.W.W.) we use today has origin came from the Military.

In the 1960s, the U.S. Department of Defense-funded the secret project called “ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network)” use to allow multiple computers to connect directly and conveniently to one another. This would allow people to share information with each other at unprecedented speeds and response to National Security at that time.

This is the beginning of the modern internet we use today.

2. GPS (Global Positioning System)

After the end of War World 2 come to Space race which sends satellites into the atmosphere during the Cold War. GPS came out shortly afterward and the success of the Transit system is encouraging both the U.S. Navy and Air Force to Consider a more advanced and more efficient travel assist system. The United States Department of Defense has produced a new system called " Navstar" for finding locations around the world.

This used to determine the location for guild missiles on land and air and can tell the troops are on the battlefield also.

This is the beginning of the Global Positioning System or GPS. In the 1990s, some of these GPS satellites would be used for a space-based radio navigation system that was originally owned and operated by the United States government. Now we thank the invention of GPS capable of our smartphones.

3. Computer

The original technology for computers was a lot more archaic than today. The original computers used punch cards and mechanical looms to run operate.

In the first period, the first electronic digital programmable computer used as Code Breaker named “Colossus” to help decipher messages sent by the Nazi encryption machines, during War World 2.

These computers were an important part of helping the Allies win the war and the beginning of the modern computers we use today.

4. Digital cameras

Digital camera technology originally used in early spy satellites to capture high-resolution aerial images of enemy installations.

Especially during the Cold War and in the 1970s the first self-contained digital camera was created.

And it takes many years to progress into the DSLRs we use today, now digital photography is everywhere, even in our pocket.

5. Drone

Nowadays drones are such a common sight that regulating them has become a headache for governments. Even Through it has origin from their military.

Drone used to survey battlefields or go on missions deemed too dull, dirty or dangerous for human beings.

The idea for drones started well over a Century ago when Austria sent unmanned bomb-filled balloons to blow up Venice in 1849.

Later, during World War 2, this technology was developed by Nazi German. For use in warfare but the role of drones in those days still not very clear.

Since the 1990s, the role of drones has become more pronounced in conflict areas around the world, for example, the US military Predator drones.

Current drone technology still being developed continuously until becoming smaller as the drones that we see today.

6. Wristwatches

Some of the first wristwatches were worn by soldiers and military men to allow the synchronization of military maneuvers on the battlefield without alerting the enemy.

Popularity began to spread. Later, wristwatches made their way into civilian life where they transformed into fashion accessories before becoming part of everyday life.

7. Space Programme

During World War 2, the Nazis created the first V-2 rocket to use to attack targets from a distance.

After the end of World War 2, the United States and the Soviet Union brought German scientists who are involved in the development of the V-2 rocket back to their state to develop a competitive space program.

After that, modern space technology and satellites were born to this day.

8. Aviator sunglasses

Aviator sunglasses were originally developed in the 1930s for use by military pilots to protect their eyes while flying.

They replaced the classic flight goggles and had many benefits over them too - being lighter, thinner and snazzier too.

Eventually, the aviator sunglasses produced by the company behind the original pilot glasses were trademarked as Ray-Bans and have since risen to iconic status in the civilian world.

FUN FACT: In 1986, the hit movie “Top Gun” brought Ray-Bans circulation sales up to 40%.

9. Ambulances

In around 1487, the very first ambulances appeared on the battlefield. They were used by the Spanish army to pick up wounded soldiers from war zones.

They weren't usually sent in until after the battle had finished though, so many died waiting to be saved.

In later years, horse-drawn carriages appeared as ambulances. Ambulance use changed greatly when motorized vehicles were introduced and they quickly made their way into civilian life too.

In occlusion, Do wars drive technological advancement?

The war caused massive destruction of resources in each country and the loss of life and property which is unacceptable but the war would have a positive effect on Accelerating economic and technological development Same Specifically for military use and to win the war. Later, those technologies have been developed and modified into a technology that we use today.

ป.ล. ที่จริงสิ่งประดิษฐ์ที่มาจากเทคโนโลยีทางทหาร มีมากมายกว่านี้อีก ซึ่งกระผมไม่สามารถ นำมาเล่าให้หมดได้ เพราะมีเยอะมากจริงๆ และต้องใช้เวลานานมากสำหรับการแปล จึงขอ อภัยทุกท่านมา ณ ที่นี้ด้วย @ แอดมิน ภูมิ
