Technology (Advancement)

As the basic premise of the Advancement TL is that the world is 200 years more advanced than our own this page exist to document the new advanced technology and where it is used.

Tanks
Despite there being massive advances in technology and development of new weapon and propulsion systems the basic design for the tank has remained uncharged since the early 1800's. The standered patern remains similar to OTL although the top cannon has either been replaced with a railgun or laser in most cases. The swedish have experimented with replacing the tracks with hover skirts or legs but in most of the world the basic tank track is still in use.

Aircraft
The most common type of military aircraft in use today is the Hypersonic Multi-Role fighter. Powered by two scramjets it can reach twenty times the speed of sound and can leave earths atmosphere. They are normaly armed with missiles or lasers as it is nearly imposible to use balistic weapons at there maximum speed. These fighters can normaly be modified for use in outer space as well and are used as patrol craft by nations that cannot aford a fleet of interplanetary carriers/cruisers.

Other aircraft used by militarys include Hypersonic bombers and helicopters.
