The main aim is to create a

lightweight and comfortable, high
tech battle suit for the modern
soldier using the nanomaterials.

Too create a bulletproof,

resistant jumpsuit, no thicker
than ordinary spandex, that
monitors health, eases injuries,
communicates automatically, and
reacts instantly to chemical and
biological agents.

Researchers were able to create ultra hydrophobic

surfaces( water proof) using a technique called Chemical
Vapour Deposition(CVD).

With CVD they could deposit nanolayers of Teflon on kevlar

panels the material used to make bullet proof vests.

Sea snails and abalone are guiding scientists in their search for
strong and lightweight armor. Sea Shells and Abalone
Abalone shells are strong and lightweight. They can repair
themselves, too.

NANOTECHNOLOGY is taking a cue from nature in developing

materials to protect the modern soldier .

SCIENTISTS were able to examine the nanostructure of the scales

of the Senegal bichir or the dinosaur eel, a species that has been
able to survive enemy attacks for over 96 million years.
The four layers of the scales dissipate the energy of a strike,
protect the soft tissue beneath the scales, and also prevent the
spread of fractures within the scale.

Another new nano-armor is called

"smart" body armor.
It weaves thin pads or cloth from fibers
that can sense the impact of a bullet or
shrapnel and automatically stiffen.
This material would be even more
resistant to penetration and less
cumbersome than the ceramic-plate
armor troops wear now.
Concerns about biochemical-warfare
have resulted in exploration into nanosize umbrellas that open to seal the
cloth's pores, making it impervious to
airborne chemicals and pathogens.
That would be much easier and lighter
than the current equipment required.

How could you become invisible? Here are a couple of

nano-ways:

Scientists are manipulating light so soldiers seem to

disappear.

Scientists are also working on "electrochromic

camouflage" fabric which changes colors instantly to
blend in with the surroundings.

Artificial muscles that could enable soldiers to leap tall

walls, if not buildings, are in the works, too. One type uses
nanotechnology and electricity.
It flexes when jolted by electricity, then relaxes when the
electricity is turned off. So far, though, its reactions are
much too slow

In addition, sensors would provide the soldier's vital signs

and location to medics via radio. Until the new nanosensored garment is ready, soldiers will wear an adhesive
chest patch fitted with sensors and a tiny radio.
If a soldier is injured in the arm or leg, thanks to nanofibers in the uniform, the fabric would constrict into a
tourniquet. This will be a real life-saver, because half of all
battlefield deaths
are due to massive blood loss before
wounded soldiers can be treated.

 Future fighters and missiles are

expected to be lightweight,
intelli- gence guided, low in
signature, high speed and
manoeuvrable.
The onboard intelligence will
continuously increase,
facilitating auto- mated control
and maintenance.
Special attention goes to specific
detection and surveillance
sensors and weapon systems.

 Nanotechnology and microsystems enable

miniaturised components and very small
satellites having significant lower weight
and size than present satellites.
This will make them cheaper to
manufacture and to lift them into space
orbit. Ideally one could launch into orbit a
number of redundant micro satellites which
can be wirelessly connected to each other..
With a distributed network of small
satellites instead of one big one, both
functionality as well as redundancy is
gained.
Each micro satellite has his own power
source/solar panels, dedicated sensor
system, micro modular propulsion / thruster
system, and navigation sensors.
It can be expected, that the trend towards
smaller satellites will continue in the
coming years

Next-generation would have all-electric warship thanks to

nanotechnology. This new technology will control the ship
and lead to major improvements in effectiveness,
survivability and cost savings. The space needed for
energy production on warships will be reduced
significantly.
This will free onboard space so that it can be used for other
functions
