Both sides in the Cold War began to develop new technology, including missile technology, radar, and computers, to gain an advantage over each other.
During the time of the Cold War, both sides, the United States and the Soviet Union, began to develop new technology for various reasons.
One important reason was the desire to have more powerful weapons in order to gain an advantage over the other side. This led to significant advancements in missile technology, radar, and computers.
Scientists and engineers on both sides worked on these technologies, including captured Germans such as rocket engineer Werner von Braun. The development of new technology also led to the possibility of true artificial intelligence.
