Routledge Military Nanotechnology - Security Studies Book

Explore the evolving landscape of nanotechnology in defense through this comprehensive volume from Routledge. While many research and development programs focus on civilian uses, this book provides a systematic presentation of military applications that are often overlooked, including US government programs. As nanotechnology advances, it promises to transform various sectors of defense technology. This text examines how these developments could lead to the creation of extremely small computers, robots, missiles, satellites, launchers, and sensors. It also covers the potential for lighter and stronger materials for use in vehicles and weapons, as well as the development of implants for soldiers. This is an essential resource for understanding the future of contemporary security studies and preventive arms control.
