Top Army General Praises New Cannon In Minn., Part Of Wider Army Weapons Modernization Plan, (Minneapolis Star Tribune)…Associated Press, May 24, 2008
The Army’s top general said he saw the future when looking at a new artillery vehicle that can hit a target over the horizon while remaining lighter, faster and more fuel efficient than the vehicle it will replace.
New weapon was developed as part of the Army’s Future Combat System (FCS). FCS results in improved capabilities to include the types of technologies that can be applied in non-military applications that may help prevent conflict.
FCS illustrates the evolution of the arms race — that likely started when the first caveman threw a rock (first projectile?) at an adversary.
Reinforces the need to build peace-fighting capabilities to help prevent the need for war-fighting capabilities.
