Jitvin Beri | Priyanka Gupta [6]
Abstract: The evolution of war technology has been impacted by several factors throughout history. Studies have indicated a correlation between the evolution of military technology and the size of the world's population, the interconnection of its regions, and significant technological innovations such as iron metallurgy and horse riding. The impact of technology on war and the discussions it has sparked about the requirement for new laws to adapt emerging technologies have further highlighted the relationship between technology and law in the military sector. Human factors and the ongoing advancement of military technology and equipment are still crucial. This paper examines the development of war technology from ancient times to the present, highlighting major discoveries and breakthroughs that have affected military tactics and strategy. The study explores the development of firearms, weapons, transportation and intelligence-gathering technology through a historical lens and also exploring some non-lethal methods to reduce the risk of injury to civilians.
