The micro motor model automatic weapons
As Sun Wukong drilled into the Princess Iron Fan's belly, the micro mechanical insectcan complete the task of ordinary people can not imagine. For example, it can into each other's installations and equipment, leading to their war machine failure,eventually forcing the other side to surrender. This is the application of micro motor technology in the war results.
Micro electro mechanical system (Micro Electro Mechanical System: MEMS) are those that form the outline dimensions in the millimeter below, constitute elements can bemicro electromechanical device control, motion of micron. It is since the advent ofmicroelectronic technology, the inevitable result of people's constant pursuit of high-tech miniature. The exploration research in the early 70's people began to MEMS,until the 80's, this field will have achieved substantial progress. It uses the latest nano materials technology, makes strikingly reduced the size of motor. This technology in the military will undoubtedly is very useful for these applications include: micro robot electronic disability system; ant robot; distributed battlefield micro sensor networks;harmful chemical agent alarm system; micro IFF etc..
Micro robot electronic disability system is a specific MEMS, it has six parts, includingsensor system, information processing and self guide system, motor system, the destruction of the system and power supply. The MEMS has a certain autonomy, and has an initial capacity of the motor, when the need to attack the enemy's electronicsystems, unmanned aircraft on the MEMS. One option is the use of insects as a platform to control insects by stimulating the insect nervous to finish the process ofclose to the target. The main goal of this MEMS can quietly through the destruction ofthe enemy, there is considerable strategic significance.
The foreign research laboratories of MEMS
Ant robot is a kind of can control through the sound MEMS, driving energy ant robotsfrom a converting sound into the microphone energy, people use it to the key equipment of latent enemy, when the need to activate, the control center sends out the remote control signal, the ant robot began to devour the other key equipment. Antrobot can be very small, can import and freedom in human blood vessels, so that in the civil context, can also be completed very complex and sophisticated medicalsurgery.
Distributed battlefield micro sensor networks is through to the massive spread ofcheap micro sensor system, can be freely used to complete the investigation and monitoring of the adversary system more rigorous. The MEMS itself is very small, can not be observed by naked eye, is the instrument is also very difficult to accurately determine its position, so it is difficult to attack, such a system consisting of a largenetwork, the enemy's movements can find very clearly, so the war of the monitoringtheory is a new development.
Specific MEMS with a computer chip to form a miniature mass spectrometer that can detect chemical agents on the battlefield. Such a sensor system is only one buttonthat size, can maximum reduce the expensive catalyst or biological mediaconsumption, can also be equipped with the appropriate antidote to expand functions.In the chemical weapons ever developed for the battlefield of the future, MEMS willdetect chemical has the ability to forecast, monitor and forecast the key role.
Miniature IFF device can in a messy battle, through the sensor and intelligentrecognition technology, determine the target, avoid unnecessary mistakes. A large number of common reliability using inexpensive identification device can moreincrease judgment.
Comprehensive described above, MEMS was able to achieve a lot of functions because of its characteristics of cheap, small, intelligent, controllable. The MEMS technology is far from mature, in the future, the military needs will be a maindevelopment direction of MEMS in the future, will certainly be able to promote the continuous development of the military and the key step to military micro.
