4. Metaflex Future Camouflage
Scientists in Scotland are working on advancing camouflage by creating a material called Metaflex. This material acts as a Harry Potter-esque invisible cloak. The wearer appears invisible because the Metaflex material bends light as it hits its surface. The “invisibility cloaks” are being tested this year and could potentially be used as a defense weapon. (…)9. Hybrid Insect MEMS
The HI-MEMS is part insect, part machine. First, a micro-mechanical system is placed inside the insect during early stages of metamorphosis. The bugs operate similarly to a remote control car — the goal is to be able to control the bugs movement and location through the implanted microsystem. HI-MEMS will be used for gathering information using its sensors, such as a microphone or a gas detector. Debut date unknown.10. DREAD Silent Weapon System
The DREAD Silent Weapon System has the ability to shoot off 120,000 rounds per minute. The gun runs fully on electrical energy, not gunpowder, which means no recoil, no sound, and no heat. Debut date unknown.{ 10 Weapons Of The Future That Are Being Developed Right Now | Continue reading }
