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. The book also covers nanotechnology-enabled armor and platforms, which may serve as lightweight and high mechanical strength options in contrast to conventional systems. Finally, the book also emphasizes future military applications of nanotechnology and its integration into ‘smart’ materials.
Introduction: A journey from bulk to nanostructures- a new length scale.- Nanotechnology for defence applications.- Explosive and propellants.- CBRN threats, detection & protection.- Camouflage and stealth.- Lightweight Armors & Platforms.- A smart soldier.- Future military needs.- Final Remarks.
Dr. Ambesh Dixit received his Ph.D. in 2010 at Wayne State University and is Associate Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology at Jodhpur. He has more than 10 years’ experience in computational and experimental condensed matter physics, with a special emphasis on the design and development of materials for various applications. His research utilizes bulk three, two, one and zero dimensional nanostructured systems to develop unique materials. He is an expert in multifunctionalsystems, and was the first to demonstrate that iron vanadate (FeVO4) is a multiferroic system. He is currently working on the development of materials for strategic military applications, such as microwave absorbing materials for stealth, energy conversion using solar photovoltaic and solar thermal process, and energy storage using electrical and thermal approaches. He has co-edited one book and authored several publications in international journals.
