Defensive Designs: The Technology That Protects Us | Machinery Of War

With the ever-increasing destructive output of weapons, appropriate countermeasures had to be developed over time. Suits of armour became bulletproof vests, castle walls and ramparts became trenches and mines. As the nature of war has changed over time, we see modern applications of defensive measures in smaller-scale developments. Pre-empting and nullifying opposing weaponry with newer and better technology is more important than ever before. From the beginning of the twentieth century to today, war has radically transformed. Through mechanisation and industrialisation, the methods used to settle conflicts have made the art of war more hi-tech, more expensive, and more devastating than ever before.
