A Review of Selected Nanotechnology Topics and Their Potential Military Applications

Résumé du livre

This report presents the review of progress in selected nanotechology topics and some possible applications. We survey four major branches within the field: nanotubes, quantum dots, nanomaterials and nanodevices. For each of these, we review the underlying scientific concepts, potential enabling technologies and current limitations to the realisation of nanotechnology applications. Possible implications for the future Land Force are discussed by examining potential nanotechnology impacts across seven core military skills within the Army-as-a-System construct.
