center fuzed bomb

An advanced form of cluster bomb ordnance, this 1,000-pound bomb deploys 10 rocket-powered submunitions that spin to disperse 40 "skeet" bomblets that use infrared sensors to achieve multiple kills.

Tavor Assault rifle

Slated to become the standard infantry weapon of the Israeli Defense Forces, the Tavor uses a "bullpup" design that shortens the overall rifle length without sacrificing barrel length. Tough and lightweight, it's ideal for urban combat.

biological warfare

The continuing threat of a terrifying array of biological agents has led to the development of a range of countermeasures, including a network of biosensors, aerosolized vaccines and improved first-responder network capabilities.

MOAB

The U.S. military's largest conventional weapon, the "Mother of All Bombs" delivers nine tons of high explosive. It uses a GPS guidance system, but with a 400-foot blast radius, precision is almost superfluous.
