The Armaments Corporation of South Africa (Armscor) will host 23 scientists from 13 African countries during the 13th annual Analytical Chemistry Course set to take place at Protechnik Laboratories from today, 29 May – 9 June 2023. This course is offered under the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPWC) to strengthen cooperation with Africa on the implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention.

Scientists will get an opportunity to learn how to conduct and verify samples, degradation of chemical warfare agents, instrument usage and software, method validation, analysis and basis maintenance of laboratory equipment.

“We are looking forward to use our state-of-the-art facilities to impart knowledge on scientists from across the African continent. This course will enable participants to gain sound knowledge of the principles, procedures and applications of gas chromatography techniques for the analysis of chemicals related to the Convention,” said Dr Noel Mkaza; Group Executive – Research and Development at Armscor.

Welcome to another exciting episode of "Cutting-Edge Tech" in Military Africa. Today, we're diving into the world of military innovation as we unveil the next frontier: the United States' Hypersonic Missile program.

In the ever-evolving landscape of military technology, the pursuit of superiority and strategic advantage has led nations to explore the frontiers of innovation. Among the latest breakthroughs capturing global attention is the development of hypersonic missiles, with the United States at the forefront of this cutting-edge technology.

The United States has unveiled its first hypersonic missile, the Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon (HCSW). The HCSW is capable of traveling at speeds of Mach 5 or more, making it difficult to intercept.

Hypersonic missiles represent a paradigm shift in military capabilities, combining unparalleled speed and precision to redefine the dynamics of warfare. These missiles fly at speeds exceeding Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound, rendering them nearly invulnerable to existing missile defense systems. The implications of such advancements are monumental, reshaping military strategies and international security dynamics.

Stay tuned for more thrilling insights into the world of technology and innovation. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe, and as always, stay curious!
