Weapons Technology Sequence:
"concurrent with a continual decrease in the world metals per capita. The surprising rise in the number of people enjoying higher standards may only be accounted for by the fact that the increased ability of man and the increase in the number being served is an indirect consequence of our constantly doing more with less per given unit of resources, per given function.
“Doing constantly more with less came from the world of seaborne or airborne weapons. To persist as a ‘winner’ in the game of world armaments a constantly accelerating evolution must be regeneratively initiated in specific improvements in performances per pound of physical resources and per hours of scientific and technical expertise invested in a given task in order to be supreme in carrying the greatest hitting power the greatest distance in the shortest time, with ever-increasing accuracy of aim and at ever-higher degrees of energy efficiency.”
