• ឆ្នាំ ១៤២ In 142 AD, during the Han Dynasty, a man named Wei Boyang was the first to write anything about gunpowder. He wrote about a mixture of three powders that would “fly and dance” violently.
• ឆ្នាំ ៣០០ By 300 AD, a Jin dynasty scientist named Ge Hong had certainly written down the ingredients of gunpowder and described the explosion. Scientists made gunpowder in ancient China by mixing sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter, or potassium nitrate.

• ឆ្នាំ ៨០០ 800 to 1300 AD Gunpowder is invented in China. This leads rapidly to a primitive firearm, the “fire lance”, the first rocket, known as the “fire arrow”, and primitive bombs under the Song Dynasty (960 to 1279) – new technology partly driven by aggressive neighbours like the Jin Dynasty to the north.
• ឆ្នាំ​៨០២ កម្ពុជាប្រកាសឯករាជ្យចេញពីជ្វា Independent from the Srivijaya Empire 802 AD 

ឆ្នាំ ៩០៤ Two hundred years later, in 904 AD, Chinese inventors saw that you could also use gunpowder as a weapon. First the army used fire arrows and fire spears. That’s basically like attaching a firecracker to the end of a spear or an arrow, so it will burn people.

• ឆ្នាំ ១០៤០ Gunpowder was invented by Chinese alchemists seeking an elixir of immortality. They began to recognize the characteristics of salpeter and sulfur, two ingredients essential for gunpowder. Between 300- 650 AD several recipes were written about inflammable mixtures. Some historians date the invention of gunpowder at 850 AD when a Taoist book warned of three specific elixir formulas as too dangerous to experiment. Around 1040 AD Tseng Kung-Liang published a true gunpowder formula for the first time in history. However, this powder was not explosive but rather burned with a sudden combustion and was used in flame-throwers. Explosive gunpowder was definitely used in the beginning of the thirteenth century.
• ឆ្នាំ ១០៤០ Chinese combine all three compounds For hundreds of years the alchemists would combine these three chemicals together for many reasons. Ancient alchemical texts noted that when these three substances were mixed, the results were often flammable. Finally, in 1040 CE, Chinese alchemist Tseng Kung-Liang published the first true gunpowder formula, describing three combinations for three different weapons. They were a quasi-explosive bomb, a burning bomb and a poison-smoke ball. This early proto-gunpowder was not powerful enough to explode because it did not contain enough saltpeter. After this date, Chinese scientists continued to develop gunpowder technology, adding more and more saltpeter, eventaully reaching the necessary 75% required for detonation
• ឆ្នាំ ១១២៨ Earliest image of a cannon: A hand cannon firing a ball. The ball is missing now, but you can see where it once was. (Dazu Rock carvings, near Chengdu in central China, 1128 AD)First army to use cannons Nobody knows exactly who was the first to use cannons in war. The first picture of a cannon is from 1128 AD, under the Song Dynasty. Cannons may have existed for a while before that.
• ឆ្នាំ ១១១០ Gunpowder leaves China The Chinese emperors tried to keep gunpowder as a secret weapon, but by the 1100s AD their secret had gotten out, and people in the Islamic Empire and then the Roman Empire started to understand how to use gunpowder for weapons.After that, it wasn’t long before people in Europe also learned how to use gunpowder. Nobody is sure exactly how they found out, but it might have something to do with the Third Crusade.
• ឆ្នាំ ១១៥៣ In 1153 AD, she established diplomatic relations with the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic states while strengthening those with the neighboring countries. This marked the start of exchanged of ideas between Cambodia and the outside world. Trades increased where Cambodia exported spices, ivory, honey, rice, salt, sugar, and jewels. At the same time, the country learned about the cultures and success of other nations and started to adopt them. One such thing was the introduction of the strategy of the Roman army and gunpowder from China to the military, which she gave an official name, the Imperial Armed Forces.
• ឆ្នាំ ១១៥៣ Another of his legacy was the reform of the Imperial Armed Forces. Officers and commanders would no longer be appointed by wealth and power but through merit. He introduced for the first time the policy in which family of dead or disabled soldiers would be received special care from the government, and a pension/land any retire soldier would receive after 15 years of service. Jayavarman VII founded the first military school, standardize training, and encourage research into military technology especially gunpowder technology.
• ឆ្នាំ ១១៩០ In 1190, after nine years of plotting and waiting, King Jaya Indravarman IV of Charmpa once again matched his army into Cambodia to revenge his pride and honor. Better prepared this time, the Imperial Armed Forces inflicted devastating damage on Champa's forces.
• ឆ្នាំ ១១៩២ Jayavarman VII was also a conqueror. He invaded and once at for all annexed Champa in 1192. He conquered Dai Viet in 1195. Between 1199 and 1210, he expanded Cambodian territory south to Singhapura (Malaka), and north to Trat and Nokorpura (Pachempura), and established two cities (Oudorpura and Sripura) in the buffer zone in the north competing with China's influence. His successor would later turn this zone into Cambodian fourth region of Oudorpura.
• ឆ្នាំ ១២០០ 1200 to 1600 The Golden Age of Islam (600 to 1600 AD) rescues the advances of classical civilisations after the fall of the Roman Empire.Firearms technology develops rapidly and Egyptian soldiers are the first to use hand cannons and other small arms at the Battle of Ain Jalut in 1260.
• ឆ្នាំ ១២០៤ Ágoston and Peter Purton note that in the 1204–1324 period, late medieval Arabic texts used the same word for gunpowder, naft, that they used for an earlier incendiary naphtha.[19] Needham believes Ibn Khaldun was speaking of fire lances rather than hand cannon
• ឆ្នាំ ១២០៤ References to early use of firearms in Islamdom (1204, 1248, 1274, 1258-60, 1303 and 1324) must be taken with caution since terminology used for gunpowder and firearms in late medieval Arabic sources is confused. Furthermore, most of these testimonies are given by later chroniclers of the fifteenth century whose use of terminology may have reflected their own time rather than that of the events they were writing about
• ឆ្នាំ ១២១៦ By 1216 AD, a monk named Roger Bacon in England described gunpowder as a weapon. He thought of it as something that came from foreign places.
• ឆ្នាំ ១២៦០ According to historian Ahmad Y. al-Hassan, during the Battle of Ain Jalut in 1260, the Mamluks used a cannon against the Mongols. He claims that this was "the first cannon in history" and used a gunpowder formula almost identical to the ideal composition for explosive gunpowder. He also argues that this was not known in China or Europe until much later.[13][14] Hassan further claims that the earliest textual evidence of cannon is from the middle east, based on earlier originals which report hand-held cannon being used by the Mamluks at the Battle of Ain Jalut in 1260.
• ឆ្នាំ ១២២៧ Jayavarman VII passed away in 1227 after 46 years in power at the age of 98, the oldest monarch ever to pass away while being emperor. His favor of meritocracy to aristocracy paved the way for the country to move to the modern age. His reign was not clean by any standard, but he and his wife did many great things for the country and its people.
• ឆ្នាំ ១២៣១ To achieve this goal, in 1231, the Emperor commanded the building of city port Singhapura (city of lion) as the base of the Imperial Navy to patrol the pass of Malaka. Three years later, Cambodia landed a quarter of a million troops on the Island of Pumini. The war was ended in 1237 when the Srivijava Empire's army on the island surrendered
• ឆ្នាំ ១២៤៥ In the north, Mongolian Army, in the command of Genghis Khan, planned to invade Cambodia after they have just took control of China. To their surprise, the Imperial Armed Forces hold them off twice at the siege of Sokour Tey in 1245 and again at Nokorreach Neyok in 1246. The third invasion was planned in 1247 to take to city of Oudorpura with two prongs assaults. A diversion force of 20,000 men was to attack Sokour Tey while the main force comprised of 300,000 troops would drive directly to Oudorpura. This plan was later abandoned. Genghis Khan himself realized that, no matter how fast they would moved, his army would not have reached the capital city of Yasodharapura before the main elements of the Imperial Army nearly 300,000 men that were still tied down in Pumini and Bour sailed back and regrouped in the capital. After the war with Champa, Jayavarman VII refortified the city's defenses, which in turn made it impossible for Mongolian army to capture it within days assuming they could have managed to go this far. Genghis Khan could not risked being this deep in the enemy's territory.
• ឆ្នាំ ១២៥៥ In 1255, Khmer also took control of Luzon Island, renaming it the Island of Buor (Island of the East). Native people the newly conquered lands were subjected to harsh treatment by their new master. By the end of the conquest, trade route between the Indian and Pacific Ocean was under Cambodian control. The sea between the islands and main land was then renamed the Sea of Suvannapumi (the Sea of the Golden Land).
• ឆ្នាំ ១២៦០ With the threat from the north eliminated and the south yielded large amount of taxes, Cambodia became very rich and powerful. Its GDP in 1260 would be around 90 billion USD in today money, based on the study conducted by the Imperial University of Cambodia.One of Jayavarman VIII's legacy is the halt in stone temple construction. After 400 years of temple building (almost 2000 stone and brick temples), about 10% of tax revenue of Presh Nokor was needed to maintain it. Building bigger and bigger temples was how each emperor demonstrated their respected power and glory. Jayavarman VIII broke with tradition by turning to public welfare as his lasting legacy, which in his own word was "[...] cheaper and everyone can use it [...]". He greatly expanded construction of road, bridges, pagodas, ports, public shelter, public hospital, schools, and public housing. Jayavarman VIII joking said that "With the price of one stone temple, I can build houses for 100,000 people. And with the time to construct one stone temple, I can build a road from Singhapura to Oudorpura". Medium, big, and very big stone temple was no longer be built with later emperors preferred to show off their power with public welfare spending instead.
• ឆ្នាំ ១២៦៧ The earliest European references to gunpowder are found in Roger Bacon's Opus Majus from 1267 The first metal cannon was the pot-de-fer. Loaded with an arrow-like bolt that was probably wrapped in leather to allow greater thrusting power, it was set off through a touch hole with a heated wire. This weapon, and others similar, were used by both the French and English, during the Hundred Years' War, when cannon saw their first real use on the European battlefield.[31] Even then, cannon were still a relatively rare weapon
• ឆ្នាំ ១២៧៤ bn Khaldun reported the use of cannon as siege machines by the Marinid sultan Abu Yaqub Yusuf at the siege of Sijilmasa in 1274
• ឆ្នាំ ១២៨១ 1281 Bombs are employed by Mongols in the Mongol invasions of Japan
• ឆ្នាំ ១២៨១ The first battle where we know someone used cannons was in 1287, when Yuan Dynasty (Mongol) generals used them to end the Mongol Nayan’s rebellion. The Mongol army also used gunpowder bombs when it was trying to invade Japan in 1281 AD. Soon after that, scientists in Japan started to experiment with gunpowder weapons too.
• ឆ្នាំ ១២៨៨ ឆ្នាំ ១២៨៨ The Heilongjiang hand cannon is believed to be the oldest existing gun in the world. While the hand cannon is not exactly a gun, it was one of the first firearms ever created and is the precursor to modern guns. This particular hand cannon was found during a 1970 excavation at the village of Banlachengzi, China.Researchers think that the hand cannon was used in battles sometime between 1287 – 1288. In an account from the time period called History of Yuan, a commander named Li Ting led a group of soldiers who were equipped with hand cannons, as part of an anti-rebellion campaign for the Yuan dynasty. Today, the hand cannon is on display at the Heilongjiang Provincial Museum in Harbin, China.
• ឆ្នាំ ១២៨៨៖ The first firearms were created in China after the Chinese invented black powder in the 9th century. The earliest depiction of a gun dates back to the 12th century and the oldest existing firearm is from around 1288. Before firing mechanisms were created, early firearms needed to be manually ignited by holding a burning wick to a touch hole. Once the first firearms were introduced, gun technology advanced quite rapidly as various empires waged war. Since guns are widely collected, their history and early examples have been well-documented. This list contains some of the oldest and best examples of various early guns.

The weapon fired nine shots per minute at a time when the standard soldier's musket could be loaded and fired but three times per minute.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៧១៨ The Puckle Gun was one of the first weapons to be called a “machine gun”, but its mechanisms do not resemble modern machine guns. The gun was patented by James Puckle in 1718. It was a tripod-mounted, single-barrel flintlock weapon with a manually operated revolving cylinder. Puckle thought that it could be used on ships as an anti-boarding gun.

• ឆ្នាំ ១៧៧៥ 1775 The first submarine used in battle, Turtle, is created by American David Bushnell. The technology remains crude and unsafe for many decades, though several subs are used in the American Civil War (1861 to 1865).
• ឆ្នាំ ១៧៧៦ 1776 - American Revolution.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៧៧៧ The musket Modèle 1777 was one of the most widely used weapons in continental Europe. It was initially created in 1777 for the French Army. Trained French infantrymen were expected to be able to fire three volleys a minute with this musket. Between 1777 – 1826, about 7 million Modèle 1777 muskets were produced – this number was not topped until World War I.In the early 1800s, after the French Revolutionary Wars, Napoleon Bonaparte wanted the muskets to be slightly reworked. The corrected model, “Modèle 1777 corrigé, featured some minor modifications on the lock, bayonet, and stock. Other small improvements of the musket occurred in 1816 and 1822.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៧៧៩ The carronade was adopted by the Royal Navy in 1779; the lower muzzle velocity of the round shot when fired from this cannon was intended to create more wooden splinters when hitting the structure of an enemy vessel, as they were believed to be deadly
• ឆ្នាំ ១៧៨៣ The First Anti-Aircraft Gun Was a Big Cannon Designed to Pop Balloons It wasn't long after the first untethered balloon flight in 1783 that the aircraft were used for military observation purposes. The French Aerostatic Corps first used balloons for reconnaissance in the Battle of Fleurus of the French Revolution in 1794. About 80 years later, during the Franco-Prussian War, the French were again taking to the skies in balloons, but this time the enemy was trying to shoot them down.  The city of Paris was besieged by Prussian forces on September 19, 1870. Just four days later, the balloon Neptune left the city and traveled 52 miles to Craconville with 276 lbs. of mail and the pilot. Shortly after, the French began conducting regular balloon flights to get people out of the city and communicate with military forces in the countryside. Ultimately, 66 balloons flew out of Paris during the siege, transporting 164 passengers, supplies, and roughly 2.5 million letters, according to Historical Firearms.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៧៩៥ When Napoleon arrived, he reorganized the defenses, while realizing that without cannon, the city could not be held. He ordered Joachim Murat to bring the guns from the Sablons artillery park; the Major and his cavalry fought their way to the recently captured cannon, and brought them back to Napoleon. When Danican's poorly trained men attacked, on 13 Vendémiaire, 1795—5 October 1795, in the calendar used in France, at the time—Napoleon ordered his cannon to fire grapeshot into the mob
• ឆ្នាំ ១៨០៣ 1803 The British army begins using shrapnel shells (invented earlier by the Chinese), named for their inventor Henry Shrapnel. They contain a large number of bullets released at high velocities on detonation. They are eventually replaced by high-explosive shells during the first world war.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៨០៧ the Dardanelles Gun was still present for duty more than 300 years later in 1807, when a Royal Navy force appeared and commenced the Dardanelles Operation. Turkish forces loaded the ancient relics with propellant and projectiles, then fired them at the British ships. The British squadron suffered 28 dead through this bombardment

• ឆ្នាំ ១៨០៧ The Great Turkish Bombards of the Siege of Constantinople, after being on display for four centuries, were used to battle a British fleet in 1807, in the Dardanelles Operation. The artillery hit a British ship with two 700 lb (320 kg) cannonballs, killing 60 sailors; in total, the cannon claimed over 100 lives, prompting the British to retreat.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៨១០  the 1810s and 1820s, greater emphasis was placed on the accuracy of long-range gunfire, and less on the weight of a broadside. The carronade, although initially very successful and widely adopted, disappeared from the Royal Navy in the 1850s, after the development of jacketed steel cannon, by William George Armstrong and Joseph Whitworth. Nevertheless, carronades were used in the American Civil War

• ឆ្នាំ ១៨៣៦ Although manually revolving guns had existed for a centuries, Samuel Colt‘s gun were the first truly successful revolvers. Colt received the first patent for his revolving mechanism in Britain in 1835 and a year later, he obtained the U.S. patent. In 1836, Colt founded the Patent Arms Manufacturing Company in Paterson, New Jersey. Colt continued to manufacture guns at this company until 1842 after a string of patchy success.Initially, Colt was unable to secure a government contract for his guns until 1846 when the Mexican-American War was underway. Colt worked with Captain Samuel H. Walker to improve his revolver and General Zachary Taylor ordered 1,000 Colt revolvers. Colt’s guns continued to grow in popularity and today, the Colt Manufacturing Company is one of the most widely recognized gun manufacturers in the world

Ericsson subsequently spends many years experimenting with solar power.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៨៦២ The Gatling gun is considered to be the best example of early rapid fire weapons – it is the forerunner of the modern machine gun. The gun was designed in 1861 by Richard Gatling and patented the following year. The Gatling gun was first used in war during the American Civil War. Twelve guns were purchased by Untion commanders and used during the siege of Petersburg, Virginia.After the American Civil War, the Gatling gun was used in international conflicts such as the Boshin War and the Anglo-Zulu War. It was also used by American forces during the Spanish-American War at the Battle of San Juan Hill. Today, there are several automatic rotary machine guns that were influenced by the design of the Gatling gun.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៨៦៣ Samuel Gardiner Jr. received a U.S. Patent in 1863 on a "high explosive rifle bullet" in .54, .58, and .69 calibers. Fused to explode in less than three seconds after firing, it ensured that any soldier hit by the projectile with a range of 400 yards faced the danger of the bullet exploding within the impact wound. The U.S. Government purchased 110,000 rounds of such ammunition for issue during the Civil War. Criticizing the use of similar ammunition by the Confederates, General Ulysses S. Grant complained that "their use is barbarous because they produce increased suffering without any increased advantage to using them."

• ឆ្នាំ ១៩១០ The French balloon gun appeared in 1910,
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩១១ The first US anti-aircraft cannon was a 1-pounder concept design by Admiral Twining in 1911 to meet the perceived threat of airships, that eventually was used as the basis for the US Navy's first operational anti-aircraft cannon: the 3"/23 calibre gun
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩១២ The cannon Ljutovac used was not designed as an anti-aircraft gun, it was a slightly modified Turkish cannon captured during the First Balkan War in 1912. This was the first occasion in military history that a military aircraft was shot down with ground-to-air fire.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩១៣ By 1913 only France and Germany had developed field guns suitable for engaging balloons and aircraft and addressed issues of military organisation. Britain's Royal Navy would soon introduce the QF 3-inch and QF 4-inch AA guns and also had Vickers 1-pounder quick firing "pom-pom"s that could be used in various mountings
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩១៤ The British recognised the need for anti-aircraft capability a few weeks before World War I broke out; on 8 July 1914, the New York Times reported that the British government had decided to 'dot the coasts of the British Isles with a series of towers, each armed with two quick-firing guns of special design,' while 'a complete circle of towers' was to be built around 'naval installations' and 'at other especially vulnerable points
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩១៤ By December 1914 the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (RNVR) was manning AA guns and searchlights assembled from various sources at some nine ports. The Royal Garrison Artillery (RGA) was given responsibility for AA defence in the field, using motorised two-gun sections. The first were formally formed in November 1914. Initially they used QF 1-pounder "pom-pom" (a 37 mm version of the Maxim Gun)
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩១៤ 1914 -1918    GERMAN  SEAPLANE DROPS   BOMB ON DOVER ON  24 DECEMBER 1914 It all started when a German  seaplane flew over the town of Dover. The seaplane was a Friedrichshafen FF29with a speed of 50 knots. Its primary purpose was reconnaissance and it was observing the Naval dockyard and the Castle. The pilot saw an opportunity to attack and he dropped a 22lb bomb over the side of the plane from 5,000ft aiming at Dover Castle. It missed and landed in the vicarage garden where it blew a large hole in the lawn. A seaplane returned four days later to drop two bombs near Cliffe railway station, Kent. There were no fatalities and the plane was chased away by defending aircraft. This first bomb served notice on England that the war, hitherto fought in France, could be brought to the homeland.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩១៤ 1914 During the first world war, the British army introduces the first tanks.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩១៥ These raids killed four people. By May 1915 the Airships were attacking London.  The first raid on London made by the LZ-38 took place on  31 May 1915, killing seven and injuring thirty five.Nine British fighters attempted to attack the Zeppelin but it was too high. It appears that this first raid was as a result of a navigation error because only in July did the Kaiser authorise  raids against urban centres.  
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩១៤  It was the first equipment designed specifically for the anti-aircraft (AA) role. This 3 inch gun mounted on a 20cwt vehicle was introduced in March 1914. It was a very effective gun and continued in service until the 1940s. At 45 degrees it had a range of almost 11,000yds with a rate of fire of 25 per minute and an effective AA ceiling of 23,000 ft. This was sufficient to attack the Gothas that operated up to 16,000ft. Early designers of AA equipments mounted their guns on lorries that were easily available but because they were difficult to stabilise they were soon replaced by towed platforms. The QF 3inch gun was upgraded in 1937 to the 3.7 inch, (shown later) to make it effective to the height of 32,000 feet.  
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩១៥ All armies soon deployed AA guns often based on their smaller field pieces, notably the French 75 mm and Russian 76.2 mm, typically simply propped up on some sort of embankment to get the muzzle pointed skyward. The British Army adopted the 13-pounder quickly producing new mountings suitable for AA use, the 13-pdr QF 6 cwt Mk III was issued in 1915
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩១៥ On 30 September 1915, troops of the Serbian Army observed three enemy aircraft approaching Kragujevac. Soldiers shot at them with shotguns and machine-guns but failed to prevent them from dropping 45 bombs over the city, hitting military installations, the railway station and many other, mostly civilian, targets in the city. During the bombing raid, private Radoje Ljutovac fired his cannon at the enemy aircraft and successfully shot one down. It crashed in the city and both pilots died from their injuries.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩១៧ As Gotha raids on London intensified, in mid 1917 a barrage of 30 of these guns was set up on the eastern approaches to defend London. This had the effect of causing the Gotha to change tactics and concentrate on night time attacks.The Gotha and Giant night raids continued throughout 1917, almost unscathed, until December when the defences began to have success with guns and the RFC, now equipped with the Camel, were increasingly successful in intercepting the Gothas at night.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩១៧ With the defeat of the airship attacks the Germans switched to attack by the Gotha bomber. This was the first heavier than air bomber to be used for strategic bombing. It carried a maximum bomb load of 1,000lbs, two machine guns and a crew of three. The first Gotha raid against England was in May 1917 when a raid of 22 planes bombed Folkstone causing 95 deaths. On 13 June 1917 fourteen Gothas carried out the first daylight raid on London killing 162 people, including 16 children in their classroom,and injuring over 400.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩២០ Rheinmetall in Germany developed an automatic 20 mm in the 1920s and Oerlikon in Switzerland had acquired the patent to an automatic 20 mm gun designed in Germany during World War I. Germany introduced the rapid-fire 2 cm FlaK 30 and later in the decade it was redesigned by Mauser-Werke and became the 2 cm FlaK 38.[39] Nevertheless, while 20 mm was better than a machine gun and mounted on a very small trailer made it easy to move, its effectiveness was limited. Germany therefore added a 3.7 cm
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩២១ In 1921, Italian aerial warfare theorist Giulio Douhet published The Command of the Air, a book positing that future wars would be decided in the skies
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩២៥ The term air defence was probably first used by Britain when Air Defence of Great Britain (ADGB) was created as a Royal Air Force command in 1925
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩២៦ An outer ring of guns was provided to break up enemy attack formations before they entered the aircraft fighter zone. An extensive observer force named the Observer Corps was established in 1926 and a comprehensive communications network was developed. This was all brought together organisationally under the title of Air Defence of Great Britain.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩២៧ After World War I the US Army started developing a dual-role (AA/ground) automatic 37 mm cannon, designed by John M. Browning. It was standardised in 1927 as the T9 AA cannon, but trials quickly revealed that it was worthless in the ground role. However, while the shell was a bit light (well under 2 lbs) it had a good effective ceiling and fired 125 rounds per minute; an AA carriage was developed and it entered service in 1939. 
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៣០ The military were well aware that improved warning of the approach of air raids was needed. A plan was developed to improve the first world war sound alerting system and to use the noise made by approaching aircraft to give warning of an attack and thus provide an alert to the defensive forces. Large concrete sound collectors were built and installed on the South coast in Kent during the early 1930s. These measured 8-10 meters in diameter and on a quiet day could detect aircraft 20 to 30 miles away. This was some 20 miles before detection with the unaided ear and, as aircraft at this time flew at about 170mph, gave an early warning of some ten minutes. In the early 1930s the concrete sound collectors participated in the annual Air Defence exercises with the RAF. The picture above shows one such collector. The operators sat in the hut in the centre below the dish and they could use the acoustic probe seen reaching to the centre of the dish to detect and, to some extent, find the direction of aircraft.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៣០ The first, the 3.7 cm FlaK 18 developed by Rheinmetall in the early 1930s, was basically an enlarged 2 cm FlaK 30. It was introduced in 1935 and production stopped the following year. A redesigned gun 3.7 cm FlaK 36 entered service in 1938, it too had a two-wheel carriage.[40] However, by the mid-1930s the Luftwaffe realised that there was still a coverage gap between 3.7 cm and 8.8 cm guns. They started development of a 5 cm gun on a four-wheel carriage.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៣០ During the 1930s solid-fuel rockets were under development in the Soviet Union and Britain. In Britain the interest was for anti-aircraft fire, it quickly became clear that guidance would be required for precision. However, rockets, or 'unrotated projectiles' as they were called, could the used for anti-aircraft barrages. A 2-inch rocket using HE or wire obstacle warheads was introduced first to deal with low-level or dive bombing attacks on smaller targets such as airfields. The 3-inch was in development at the end of the inter-war period
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៣១ Also, in 1931 the US Army worked on a mobile anti-aircraft machine mount on the back of a heavy truck having four .30 calibre water-cooled machine guns and an optical director. It proved unsuccessful and was abandoned
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៣១ The 40 mm Bofors had become available in 1931. In the late 1920s the Swedish Navy had ordered the development of a 40 mm naval anti-aircraft gun from the Bofors company. It was light, rapid-firing and reliable, and a mobile version on a four-wheel carriage was soon developed. Known simply as the 40 mm, it was adopted by some 17 different nations just before World War II and is still in use today in some applications such as on coastguard frigates.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៣៤ Canadian John Garand invented the M1 semiautomatic rifle in 1934.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៣៩ The Soviet Union also used a 37 mm, the 37 mm M1939, which appears to have been copied from the Bofors 40 mm. A Bofors 25 mm, essentially a scaled down 40 mm, was also copied as the 25 mm M1939.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៣៩ The Browning 37 mm proved prone to jamming, and was eventually replaced in AA units by the Bofors 40 mm. The Bofors had attracted attention from the US Navy, but none were acquired before 1939
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៤០ A plethora of anti-aircraft gun systems of smaller calibre were available to the German Wehrmacht combined forces, and among them the 1940-origin Flakvierling quadruple-20 mm-autocannon-based anti-aircraft weapon system was one of the most often-seen weapons, seeing service on both land and sea
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៤០  The World War II-era "legend" of the dreaded German 88 mm gun was launched during the Battle of Arras on May 21, 1940 when Generalmajor Erwin Rommel first ordered their use against Allied armor, devastating British Matilda II tanks, a well-armored design. The proximity fuse emerged on the battlefields of Europe in late December 1944

• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៤៣ After the Dambusters raid in 1943 an entirely new system was developed that was required to knock down any low-flying aircraft with a single hit. The first attempt to produce such a system used a 50 mm gun, but this proved inaccurate and a new 55 mm gun replaced it.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៤៥ 1945 The first successful test of a nuclear bomb is carried out in New Mexico, on 16 July.On 6 and 9 August, bombs are dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, effectively ending the second world war and ushering in a new age of nuclear weaponry.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៤៨ The Israeli Air Force formed in 1948 with the formation of the modern State of Israel. Israel was involved in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War immediately after the end of the British administration and occupation.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៥០ In the 1950s, the United States Navy tasked the F-8 Crusader as their close-in air superiority fighter. This role would be taken over by the F-4 Phantom, which was designed as an interceptor. The USAF had developed the F-100 and F-104 as air superiority fighters, and also later adopted the F-4.

• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៥៣ 1953 The first maser (Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is built at Columbia University. It produces a tight beam of microwaves. Originally hailed as a “ray gun”, it proves impractical as a weapon.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៥៦ In 1956 Israel, France, and the UK invaded the Sinai after Egypt closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli ships in the Suez Crisis. Israel's new French-made Dassault Mystere IV jet fighters provided air cover for the paratroop transport aircraft.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៦០ In the 1960s, the limited agility of American fighters in dogfights over Vietnam led to a revival of dedicated air superiority fighters, which led the development of the "Teen Series" F-14, F-15, F-16 and F/A-18. All of them made close-combat maneuverability a top priority, and were equipped with guns absent from early Phantoms.[24] The heavy F-14 and F-15 were assigned the primary air superiority mission, because of their longer range radars and capability to carry more missiles of longer range than lightweight fighters.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៦០ 1960 The laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is demonstrated for the first time. It produces a beam of red light.Lasers find a myriad of uses in society, and in warfare are used for targeting of missiles and other weapons, and as an alternative to radar. Various prototype laser weapons are under development.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៦០ 1960 to 2000 The Soviet Union begins developing a supercavitating torpedo in the 1960s. By exploiting the way water forms bubbles around fast-moving objects the Shkval can travel at 500 kilometres an hour. It is only completed in the early 1990s.The US develop their own in 1997 and 10 years later start working on carrying humans in a supercavitation craft.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៦៧ n 1967 the Straits of Tiran were again closed and international peacekeepers were ejected by Egypt. Israel then initiated Operation Focus. Israel sent nearly every capable combat aircraft out, holding only a handful for protection
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៦៧ Following the Six-Day War, from 1967 to 1970, there were small scale incursions into the Israeli-held Sinai desert as Egypt rearmed. This evolved into large-scale artillery and air incursions in 1969, with Soviet pilots and SAM crews arriving to assist in January 1970.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៦៨ The development of assault rifles started during World War II, beginning with the German Sturmgewehr, the first rifle that could fire a medium size bullet at high rates of fire. In response the U.S. military began developing their own assault rifle, which resulted in the M16 assault rifle. It was first issued to American Soldiers in Vietnam in 1968 and designed by Eugene Stoner, a Marine Corps Veteran.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៧១ During the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, the Indian Air Force achieved complete air superiority over East Pakistan and West Pakistan[25] within a few days of the start of the conflict, helping the Indian Army defeat the Pakistan Army and force them to surrender.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៧៣ The first few days of the 1973 Yom Kippur War saw major Arab ground breakthroughs, surprising Israel who, after its lopsided 1967 victory, considered its air supremacy sufficient to blunt or dissuade any conventional attack
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៧៤ 1974 The first Taser is built after five years of work by NASA researcher Jack Cover.Billed as a non-lethal weapon, the electric stun gun is now used by police forces around the world. However, claims have been made that it is frequently abused and may cause lasting harm.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៧៨ The 1978 South Lebanon conflict was an invasion of Lebanon up to the Litani River, carried out by the Israel Defense Forces in 1978 in response to the Coastal Road massacre. Israel had complete air supremacy.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៨០ In the 1980s the United States opted for a newer fighter capable of gaining air superiority without being detected by an opposing force. The US government approved the Advanced Tactical Fighter program, resulting in the United States Air Force receiving new aircraft to replace their aging F-15 fleet. The YF-23 and the YF-22 were chosen as the finalists in the competition. The F-22, the subsequent result of the program, became operational in 2005, and has been dubbed[by whom?] the "fifth generation" of fighter aircraft.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៨២ In the 1982 Lebanon War where Israel invaded up to Beirut, Syria intervened on the side of Lebanon and the PLO forces residing there. Israeli jets shot down between 82[16] and 86 Syrian aircraft in aerial combat, without losses.[17][18] A single Israeli A-4 Skyhawk and two helicopters were shot down by anti-aircraft fire and SAM missiles.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៨២ In the Falklands War (2 April–20 June 1982),[27][28] the British deployed Harrier jets as air superiority fighters against Argentina's Mach-capable Dassault Mirage IIIEA fighters and subsonic Douglas A-4 Skyhawk jets
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៩០ The Iraqi Air Force suffered almost complete obliteration in the opening stages of the Persian Gulf War (2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991). It lost most of its aircraft, as well as command-and-control capability, to precise Coalition strikes or when Iraqi personnel flew their aircraft to Iran. The Iraqis shot down relatively small numbers of opposing Coalition aircraft
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៩៧ 1997 The US carries out its first test of an anti-satellite laser.
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៩៨ Anthony Cordesman wrote of NATO's theater air supremacy during its 1999 intervention in the Kosovo War of 1998-1999
• ឆ្នាំ ១៩៩៩ 1999 Experiments with radioactive hafnium are used to argue it is possible to make a simple device that releases a massive amount of gamma rays comparable to a nuclear bomb. No definitive evidence to back up the theory has been released, despite millions of dollars invested by the US military.
• ឆ្នាំ ២០០១ 2001 US president George W Bush proposes a national missile defence shield. The scheme meets with stinging criticism and the technology repeatedly fails to deliver in tests.The Active Denial System, a directed-energy weapon intended to harmlessly drive people away, is tested by the US government. The device uses a microwave beam to produce a sensation of intense heat, forcing people to move away. Despite concerns about safety, portable versions have been mooted for police.
• ឆ្នាំ ២០០២ 2002 For the first time, a high-energy laser is used to shoot down artillery fire.The Pulsed Energy Projectile (PEP), a laser that can knock you off your feet, is developed.
• ឆ្នាំ ២០០៧ 
• 2007 Australian weapons company Metal Storm files a key patent for its gun, which fires a million rounds a minute.
• ឆ្នាំ ២០០៨ 2008 In another milestone for high-energy lasers, the Airborne Laser is fired from an aircraft for the first time.Also, Stellar Photonics begins testing of their experimental Plasma Acoustic Shield System, which generates a dazzling series of mid-air explosions by blasting balls of plasma with high-powered lasers.
• ឆ្នាំ ២០០៩ 2009 A US government report advocates using neuroscience to enhance soldiers’ abilities.
• ឆ្នាំ ២០០៨ The future of projectile based weapons may be found in the railgun. Currently tests are underway on developing systems that could create as much damage as a Tomahawk (missile), but at a fraction of the cost. In February 2008 the US Navy tested a railgun; it fired a shell at 5,600 miles (9,000 km) per hour using 10 megajoules of energy. Its expected performance is over 13,000 miles (21,000 km) per hour muzzle velocity, accurate enough to hit a 5-metre target from 200 nautical miles (370 km) away while shooting at 10 shots per minute. It is expected to be ready in 2020 to 2025.[55][verification needed] These systems, while currently designed for static targets, would only need the ability to be retargeted to become the next generation of AA system.
• ឆ្នាំ ២០១៦ An Anti-UAV Defence System (AUDS) is a system for defence against military unmanned aerial vehicles. A variety of designs have been developed, using lasers,[49] net-guns and air-to-air netting, signal jamming, and hi-jacking by means of in-flight hacking.[50] Anti-UAV defence systems have been deployed against ISIL drones during the Battle of Mosul (2016–17)
• ឆ្នាំ ២០១៨ Israel has upheld air superiority through the Syrian Civil War.[21] However, the deployment of a Russian S-400 missile battery into Syria has brought Israeli dominance into question.[22] During the February 2018 Israel–Syria incident, despite the loss of an aircraft, Israel has demonstrated their capability to operate without effective interference within the Syrian theater.
