TECHNOLOGICAL GAP. FORMS AND INFLUENCES ON ECONOMICAL DEVELOPMENT. IMPLICATIONS FOR CONTEMPORARY MILITARY PHENOMENON

Summary/Abstract: Military technology is the amount of equipment, vehicles, structures and communication systems that are designed for use in warfare. It comprises the kinds of technology that are distinctly military in nature and not civilian in application, usually because they are impractical in civilian application or dangerous to use without appropriate military training. For military technology it is common to have been researched and developed by scientists and engineers specifically for being used by the armed forces. This process involves the design, development, testing and lifecycle management of military weapons and systems. It draws on the knowledge of several traditional engineering disciplines, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, electrooptics, aerospace engineering, materials engineering, and chemical engineering. Sometimes, the border between military and civilian technology is not further away. There are a significant number of military inventions that are technologies originally developed and designed for military purposes, and which are now used by civilians with sometimes minor or no modifications at all.
