The Battleship.
This type of vessel concept is nothing new, the ancient galleys were based on sea warfare and effective attack methods. Later we see this in the 15-17th century battleships of Piracy and the Spanish Armada, the cannon was now more effective than ever before.
European nations of empire now had their battle fleets, the English, Spanish and French and this is how it has stayed up the American Independence? Not exactly correct! Russia, Sweden, Japan and China also had their own areas of expansion in northern-Europe and SE-Asia.
The concept of the Battle/Warship of today stemmed from the invention of the steam engine and the ironclad ships, moving away from wood and sail allowed for stronger and faster vessels. While armaments could now be increased, thus the Dreadnought was born.

Police Aviation. Part-Two.
Helicopters to Drones.
The drone is the cheapest alternative available at this time to the helicopter! We see in the many Sci-Fi films police forces of the future using various types of drones to overfly, to get in close and go places that only insects and small animals can go.
The drone will not totally replace aircraft, but will perhaps be the new dog or security camera that is much more mobile for the future.
The police now employ many new techniques in fighting crime in the large metropolitan cities and in time these methods will work their way down to the smaller towns and rural communities.
The loss and failure of these robotic craft will not be as expensive and they will be easy and quick to replace.

Two Breakthroughs.
First possible commercial Solar powered Car.
Australia who is the leader in the field of Solar (Sun) powered vehicles have developed a vehicle which can now be mass produced and sold to the general public. Every invention has to start somewhere and this one has come out of forty years of continued development and research.
The Solar powered car will not be at a loss even here in the U.K., because it like an electric car can take a charge.
The second Breakthrough is the development of a Bionic suit that helps those who are not able to walk, walk.
Some of the research from this has come from Space suit design, while the rest from connecting the human nervous system to a chip.
