A 250-Year Arsenal of Innovation: A Call for Articles on American Defense Technologies

To mark the 250th anniversary of the United States, the "Cogs of War" publication is seeking original essays on the history of American defense innovation. The call for articles requests submissions that examine how Americans have built, adapted, and fought with technology in war. Desired essays will use a specific invention, from the Gatling gun to AI, as a lens to explore its creation, its use in the field, and its broader cultural and historical consequences. The publication emphasizes a need for deep analysis of the institutions and people behind these innovations, rather than surface-level histories.
