Technologies such as the Global Positioning System nowallow 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 bereckoned with, especially with precision-guided weapons that must be highlyaccurate to be effective.在21世纪,云层和暴风雨天气不再会终止军事行动或使其发生改变。如全球定位系统的技术现在能引导巡航导弹和其他智能武器攻击目标。但是天气仍然是不可忽视的一个因素,特别是在精确制导武器的运用上,天气必须高度准确有效。????Fortunately, the ability to obtain weatherforecasts will get better. In the next few years, remote weather sensors will grow rapidly on unmanned vehicles. This will create a network of observing platforms that will give commanders a(n)instantoverview of weather in the battle zone. In some areas youll have directdeliveryof weather information straight from the computers to black boxes in aircraft and other vehicles. That will be especially important for target-bound aircraft. 幸运的是,我们将会更好地获得天气预报。在接下来的几年里,无人机的远程天气传感器将快速得到发展。这将创建一个网络的观察平台,给指挥官提供即时的战场天气情况。在某些领域天气信息将直接从电脑连接到飞机黑匣子和其他车辆。这对于绑定目标的飞机是尤其重要的。????Such technology will give whoever possess it a tremendous edge (优势) over their enemy and enable them to use developing weather conditions to theiradvantage . As we get superior satellites into space, well gain huge advantages inobserving meteorological conditions in denied areas, where we dont have people on the ground. And our modeling ability will continue to improve as our computers get morepowerful. The past 10 years have witnessed a revolution in our communications and computer abilities. Its exciting to think of what the next 10 years will bring. 这种技术将给拥有它的人带来巨大的优势在面对他们的敌人时,使他们能够使用有利于他们的天气信息。当我们得到优越的卫星进入太空,我们将在观察否认地区的气象条件时获得巨大的优势,我们不需要人在地面上。我们的建模能力将继续改善,将我们的电脑变得更强大。过去十年见证了我们在通信和计算机能力的一场革命。令人激动的是,未来10年将带来更大什么发展。攻势已经持续了三
