One of the very few books on nanotechnology and the defense sector
More than half the globe is confronted with war or war-like volatility and complex security situations. Scientists, including nanotechnologists, in every sphere are concerned and want to contribute.
In this book, the challenges of our time, including new demands on the military at every level, are addressed. The need to provide defense personnel with practical tools necessary to succeed in this unpredictable and unstable world is of the utmost importance, because the character of warfare is changing with time. This book articulates various areas of the defense support system that can be improved with the incorporation of nanotechnology, as well as ways to further develop a modern, future-oriented, attractive and competitive military support system.
With these concerns in mind, the chapters of this book are devoted to various areas of nanotechnological innovation afforded to the military such as smart clothing and combat suits, medical therapeutic and diagnostic support, improved air and ground vehicles, portable energy sources, and nanosensors. Nanotechnology supported stealth and counter-stealth technologies, radar absorbing materials, the role of computers in aid of defense, and textiles to help in camouflaging, are also discussed.
In addition, chapters have also been devoted to chemical and biological warfare.
