Routledge Military Nanotechnology - Security Studies Book

Explore the future of defense with Military Nanotechnology: Potential Applications and Preventive Arms Control. While many research and development programs focus on civilian uses, this book provides a systematic and comprehensive look at the military side of nanotechnology. It examines the often overlooked R&D efforts, specifically those within the US government. This text prepares readers for the technological shifts expected in the next ten to twenty years. It covers the potential for extremely small computers, robots, missiles, satellites, launchers, and sensors. You will also learn about the development of lighter and stronger materials for weapons and vehicles, as well as the role of implants in soldiers. This book is a vital resource for understanding how nanotechnology will change the landscape of contemporary security studies and military technology.
