Beschreibung

Viele Hightechwaffen, die heute im Krisenfall zum Einsatz kommen, haben eine lange Geschichte. In einigen Fällen dauerte es Jahrhunderte, bis aus der Eisen-Rüstung eine kugelsichere Weste, oder aus dem mittelalterlichen Katapult ein modernes Artillerie-Geschütz wurde. Vom Panzer, über den Helikopter, bis hin zum Flugzeugträger – die Dokumentarserie “Weaponology – Entwicklung der Militaertechnik” beschäftigt sich mit verschiedenen modernen Waffensystemen und ihrer Entwicklungsgeschichte immer anhand eines aktuellen Beispiels.
