Modern Warfare of World War II
|Technology |Description/Purpose |
|Sonar Detectors |The word Sonar is an American term first used in World War II, it is an acronym for SOund, |
| |NAvigation and Ranging. The British also call Sonar, ASDICS, which stands for Anti-Submarine|
| |Detection Investigation Committee. Detect submarines |
|Improved Airplanes |In World War Two, airplanes of all types - fighters, bombers, transports, etc. - developed |
| |rapidly. Biplanes saw action in the early years; jet aircraft zoomed through the skies over |
| |Germany and the Pacific in 1945. |
|Radar Systems |During World War II, battles were won by the side that was first to spot enemy airplanes, |
| |ships, or submarines. To give the Allies an edge, British and American scientists developed |
| |radar technology to "see" for hundreds of miles, even at night. |
|Aircraft Carriers |An aircraft carrier is a warship designed to deploy and in most cases recover aircraft, |
| |acting as a sea-going airbase. Aircraft carriers thus allow a naval force to project air |
| |power great distances without having to depend on local bases for staging aircraft |
| |operations. |
|Medical Advances |Advances in public health methods may have been a few of the most crucial medical |
| |developments during World War II, but one of the most dramatic single medical advance was |
| |probably the wide spread use of penicillin & morphene to treat wounds and bacterial |
| |diseases. |
| | |
|Atomic Bombs |A nuclear weapon is a type of explosive weapon that derives its destructive force from |
| |nuclear reactions of fusion or fission. Used against Japan to end the war. |
| | |
|Improved Tanks |During World War II, the tank reached new heights of capability and sophistication. The |
| |early tanks of Germany were technologically inferior to many of their opponents' tanks in |
| |the areas of armour and firepower. It was in their tactical employment that German tanks |
| |dominated all rivals early in the war. |
|Walkie-Talkies |A walkie-talkie (more formally known as a handheld transceiver) is a hand-held, portable, |
| |two-way radio transceiver. The first walkie-talkies were developed for military use during |
| |World War II, and spread to public safety and eventually commercial and jobsite work after |
| |the war. |
|Improved Submarines |During the Second World War, submarines comprised less than 2 percent of the U.S. Navy, but |
| |sank over 30 percent of Japan's navy, including eight aircraft carriers. More important, |
| |American submarines contributed to the virtual strangling of the Japanese economy by sinking|
| |almost five million tons of shipping—over 60 percent of the Japanese merchant marine. |
|Improved Machine Guns |A machine gun is a fully-automatic mounted or portable firearm, usually designed to fire |
| |rifle cartridges in quick succession from an ammunition belt or large-capacity magazine, |
| |typically at a rate of several hundred rounds per minute. Led to a large number of |
| |casualties during World War II. |
