Abstract | Currently, most militaries of the advanced countries are utilizing nanotechnology in researches, projects, and applications. Nanotechnology can provide the army with stronger and lighter ware, supports nanomedicines and bandages for wound healing, and stops bleeding, silver-packed foods as antibacterial and antiviral, gas and biological sensing. Despite this progress and improvement in nanotechnology, this technology has certain risks when manufactured or even when applied and disposed of. In this chapter, a comprehensive view of potential military applications of nanotechnology has been addressed. It also highlighted the potential applications of the cutting-edge developments of nanotechnology in defense. Protection armors, invisibility ware, fuel economy, lighter and stronger craft/ships/vehicles manufacturing, and radar undetected planes and submarines by electromagnetic camouflage are the most focused applications in nanotechnology to developed Marin, Air force, and even battlefield army. |
