The need to provide defense personnel with practical tools necessary to succeed in this unpredictable and unstable world is of the utmost importance, because the character of warfare is changing with time. This book articulates various areas of the defense support system that can be improved with the incorporation of nanotechnology, as well as ways to further develop a modern, future-oriented, attractive and competitive military support system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith these concerns in mind, the chapters of this book are devoted to various areas of nanotechnological innovation afforded to the military such as smart clothing and combat suits, medical therapeutic and diagnostic support, improved air and ground vehicles, portable energy sources, and nanosensors. Nanotechnology supported stealth and counter-stealth technologies, radar absorbing materials, the role of computers in aid of defense, and textiles to help in camouflaging, are also discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition, chapters have also been devoted to chemical and biological warfare.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface xv\u003cbr\u003eForeword xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Nanotechnology's Entry into the Defense Arena 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eMadhuri Sharon\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Introduction 1\u003cbr\u003e1.2 What is Nanotechnology 2\u003cbr\u003e1.3 Nanotechnology Offers Innovative Opportunities for Defense 4\u003cbr\u003e1.4 Nanotechnology for Soldiers 5\u003cbr\u003e1.5 Increased Surveillance for Better Protection and Security 14\u003cbr\u003e1.6 Smaller, More Effective and Cheaper Nanotechnology-Based Weapons 15\u003cbr\u003e1.7 Nanotechnology in Aeronautics for Lighter and Faster Aircraft 17\u003cbr\u003e1.8 Nanotechnology for Stealth Warships and Submarines for Ocean Exploration 20\u003cbr\u003e1.9 Nanotechnology for Vehicles 23\u003cbr\u003e1.10 Nanotechnology for Satellites 24\u003cbr\u003e1.11 Nanomaterials for Portable Energy\/Power 25\u003cbr\u003e1.12 Nanosensors 28\u003cbr\u003e1.13 Nanotechnology for Logistics 31\u003cbr\u003e1.14 Conclusions 33\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Stealth, Counter Stealth and Nanotechnology 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eMadhuri Sharon\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 Introduction 37\u003cbr\u003e2.2 Radar – An Incentive for Developing Stealth 38\u003cbr\u003e2.3 What is Stealth and Why Was It Developed?
