The M32 grenade launcher contains three different types of ammunition that comes out of the grenade. The first type of ammunition are six grenades which can all be shot in less than six seconds. The second type of ammunition is HUNTIR rounds which float down with an attached parachute and can take aerial footage of the enemy area which is sent back to the soldiers or the operation base. The last round is called HellHounds and shoot extremely powerful projectiles at the enemy from 140 yards away and can explode everything in the radius of the target (Bracetti).
The HK M320 grenade launcher fires NATU grenades which are highly explosive, illuminating, and let out smoke. This grenade launcher can also be attached to regular firearms for better …show more content…
While some drones are equipped with weapons and programmed to replace troops, some drones are just there to inform soldiers as to where the enemy is. These drones scope out enemy territory and send visuals back to soldiers on the battlefield. One of these drones is named the 3D drone acts as a security camera to scope out the enemy and show a 3D view of the battlefield. This small drone can also be attached to a soldier's gear and can be deployed at any time. The drones can see thermal vision so the soldiers can see heat signatures from the enemy and their vehicles. This drone has a camera on it and displays the footage on a computer device which the soldier has with him (Bailey). Another drone named the Zephyr Surveillance Drone is classified as a pseudo satellite which means it has satellite type capabilities like extreme surveillance, but is flexible and versatile like an unmanned aircraft. Unlike a satellite the Zephyr can be landed and re-launched easily off of the ground. The Zephyr can fly non stop for a month and a half while continuously taking footage of any designated area. From around 12 miles above the ground it can see over 250 miles away and can provide imagery from around 380 miles away (Barrie). During the day this drone uses solar power to fly while also charging its lithium batteries which help it fly during the night. This is why the Zephyr can stay in the air for so long, it doesn't continuously need fuel like other drones. This drone can fly up to 250 miles above the ground and can be controlled from any United States military base around the world. Even without being operated, the Zephyr can fly itself. The Zephyr is programmed so that it can launch from the United States, complete its surveillance mission within weeks, and then land in Afghanistan at a United States base by itself
