Abstract:
Solving the problem of weapon injuries is of primary importance in military medical research. This article aims at presenting an inquiry into hightech weapon injuries in terms of the following: (1)classify hightech weapons into special, hightech conventional and new concept weapons, and expound their characteristics; (2)demonstrate from different angles the pressing necessity to step up researches on special (nuclear, chemical and biological) weapons; (3)discuss the types and injurious effects (high speed projectiles, war heads with numerous shrapnels and cluster bomb, multiple killing factors and high casualty inflicting power) of the everlastingly emerging hightech conventional weapons, and multiple injuries, and combined injuries produced thereby; (4)probe into new concept weapons, mainly the beamed (laser, microwave and infrasound) and non lethal weapon injuries; (5)bring up the question of confrontation of hightech weapons′ in the space in the future; (6)explore the tactics in four levels to confront hightech weapons, and research on medical protection against hightech weapon injuries in terms of basic sciences, medical logistics, and medical equipments.
