In the 21
st
century, clouds and stormy weather no longer
automatically bring operations to a halt or force a change in
targets
(目标)
. Technologies such as the Global Positioning
System now allow cruise missiles
(巡航导弹)
and other smart
weapons
to
home
in
on
(瞄准并飞速接近)
their
targets.
But
the
weather
still
is
a
factor
that
must
be
reckoned
with,
especially
with
precision-guided
weapons
that
must
be
highly
accurate
(高
度精确)
to be effective.
Fortunately,
the
ability
to
obtain
weather
forecasts
will
get better. In the next few years, remote weather sensors
(传

will
grow
rapidly
on
unmanned
(无人的?/p>
vehicles.
This
will create a network of observing platforms that will give
commanders an instant overview of weather in the battle zone
(战场)
.
In
some
areas
you
?/p>
ll
have
direct
delivery
of
weather
information straight from the computes to black boxes in
aircraft
and
other
vehicles.
That
will
be
especially
important
for target-bound aircraft
(瞄准目标的飞行器)
.
Such
technology
will
give
whoever
possess
it
a
tremendous
edge
(优势)
over
their
enemy
and
enable
them
to
use
developing
weather conditions to their advantage. As we get superior
satellites
into
space,
we
?/p>
ll
gain
huge
advantages
in
observing
meteorological
conditions
in
denied
areas

where

continue
to
improve
as
our
computers
get
more
powerful.
The
past
10 years have witnessed a revolution in our communications
(通讯?/p>
and
computer
abilities.
