VaBeachGuy 12 Posted September 3, 2003 We've discussed the Military in the past and about military technology being used by the mainstream of society as well as military scientists. I just saw commercial on the History Channel for a new show "Tactical to Practical" that showcases military technology being used in every day life. It starts Sept 9th and looks to be interesting.

Klingonmike 0 Posted September 3, 2003 Military technology has grown by leaps and bonds since my Army days. I use to drive the M-60-A1 tank, most everything in my tank was pretty much the same kind of technology used by tanks in earlier years during the Korean war. Now there is the Abram M-1 tank. I had the chance to get inside one back when it was just a prototype and it was like being in a starfleet shuttle,most everything inside is now computerized with little moniters and buttons all around with a turrent that is controled by gyros to keep the main weapon level as the tank moves. My old tank at max speed was around 45 miles an hour (And thats downhill) compared to the Abrams which can get up to 65 mph. Military technology continues to grow and get better,who knows, maybe the Terminator storyline could eventually come true! :tank: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
