Abstract 107 Technique and Research WEAR AND EROSION IN BARRELS. Currently, there is great controversy among artillery people con-cerning this issue. To tell the truth, these concepts haven’t been updated for many years, nothing new has been added in our na-tional publications, and nobody has even corroborated the old concepts that we have always taken for granted. Anyway, to be able to have a strong opinion about wear and ero-sion in barrels, we should base it on the latest experiences de-veloped in the countries around us, in this way, we’ll come to surprising conclusions. TALOS II: THE NECESSARY EVOLUTION In this article we include the analysis results reached by the Ta-los Working Group in relation to the needs for the evolution of this system. The article has been divided into two parts. In this second one, we see to all those things related to the evolution of the tactical subsystem to try to reach maximum interoperability. We also analyze some general aspects, such as simulation or in-formation security levels. HISTORY OF EXTERNAL BALLISTICS Ballistics is one of the branches of Mechanics and deals with the movement of bodies, which are only under the effect of Earth’s gravitational field, once they have been launched. Its name comes from the Greek verbβáλλως (Ballos) -βáλληιν (Ballein), which means to launch, to throw. The word root has been kept in almost all modern languages. The first time this word was used with its present meaning was in the title of a treaty written by a friar of the Minimos Order, Marín Mersenne (1588-1684). This book was published only six years after Galileo’s Discursi…, - which we will further mention below - where the basics are established for a mathematical study, scientifically accurate from a modern point of view, of the movements of falling bodies through a medium with negligible resistance. This represents the real starting point of this branch of science, in fact, of all physical and mathematical sciences as we know them today.
