Kumar N., Dixit A. Nanotechnology for Defence Applications

Springer, 2019. — 353 p. — ISBN: 978-3-030-29879-1.This book examines the application of nanoscience and nanotechnology in military defence strategies. Both historical and current perspectives on military technologies are discussed. The book provides comprehensive details on current trends in the application of nanotechnology to ground, air, and naval specializations. Furthermore, nanotechnology-enabled high energy explosives and propellants, chemical, biological, radiation, and nuclear threats and their detection/protection, and camouflage and stealth for signature management of military targets in multispectral wavelength signals are analyzed.Historical Perspective of Materials and Contemporary Warfare Technologies
