TECHNOLOGY
Technology is the creation, usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, crafts, systems of methods of organisation as means in order to solve a problem or serve purpose or end. World technology comes from Greek(technologia); from (techne), meaning art, skill, craft, and (logia), meaning ‘study of’ The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas; examples include construction technology, medical technology, medical technology, and information technology.

Military technology is the application of technology for use in warfare. It comprises the kinds of technology that are distinctly military in nature and not civilian in application, usually because they lack useful or legal civilian application, or are dangerous to use without appropriate military training.
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.
Military technology is often researched and developed by scientists and engineers specifically for use in battle by the armed forces. Many new technologies came as a result of the military funding of science.
Armament engineering is 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, electro-optics, aerospace engineering, materials engineering, and chemical engineering.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Information Technology or IT is a broad class of tools based on techniques for collecting, sensing, processing, storing, exchanging and communicating data. IT has numerous applications in areas such as media, entertainment, communications, automation, controls, decision support, knowledge processes, calculations, analysis and execution of transactions. The following is a reasonably comprehensive guide to information technology.
NETWORK TECHNOLOGY
A network is a number of devices that are connected so that they can communicate and exchange DATA. Networks are often connected to other networks, forming larger networks. The following are illustrative examples.
WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT TECHNOLOGY
Assault Rifle, Stan Machine Carbine, 9mm Pistol and Hand Grenades are the personal weapons for individual soldiers. All soldiers and officers carry one of these weapons along with hand grenades when they go to war. You can identify them from the illustrations given.
Light Machine Gun: It can fire effectively up to 700m. It is an automatic gun and has a higher rate of fire than an assault rifle. It is useful in breaking the enemy forming up for final charge on their own defenses.
40mm Multi Grenade Launcher: It is capable of firing grenades up to 375m. It is very effective in urban areas and jungle terrain.
Anti Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM): With a range of up to four KMs, the ATGMs are very accurate and effective in destroying tanks in war.
Hand Held Thermal Imager (HHTI) and Battle Field Surveillance Radars (BFSR) The HHTI is used to detect enemy troops at 1.5 kms and vehicles up to 3 kms. It is very effective being used on the Line of Control where it is used for detecting terrorists and enemy troop intrusions. The BFSR can be used for detecting enemy movement for a distance up to 18 kms.
T-72 and T-90 Tanks: Both these tanks are of Russian origin. The T-72 was the most popular tank after World War II. It was being used by over 40 countries worldwide. The T-90 tanks are upgraded versions of T-72 with greater mobility, fire power and lethality.
Main Battle Tank (MBT) Arjun : It is an indigenously built tank with advanced features like automatic target locating. Tracking and destruction. It has superior Arm our protection than the Russian T-90s.
Bridge Laying Tank: As the name suggests, it is used to lay bridges over obstacle ridden terrain to enable tanks, troops and logistical transport to cross over. The indigenously made 20-metre long ‘Kartik’ bridge laying tank is one of the widest tank bridges in the world. The bridge can carry all types of tanks and other vehicles in service with the Indian Army, including the Arjun MBT
Weapon Locating Radars (WLR): These radars are used to locate enemy artillery guns and mortars, when they fire at us. By getting their exact location our own artillery then fires at enemy artillery and destroys it. This tactic is called “counter bombardment”.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV): These are employed to look into enemy territory and collect intelligence. Israeli made Heron Mark II are extensively used to carry out recce of enemy area as also in locating terrorist movements in Jammu and Kashmir.
Long Range Recce and Observation System (LORROS): It is used to locate and ide identify enemy troop and vehicle movement in war and for counter terrorist surveillance in Jammu and Kashmir. It is an optical device like a telescope.
This entire equipment is based on military technologies.
