| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The last decade has witnessed unprecedented developments in thediscovery of novel materials and their radically different propertiesat nanoscales. Global efforts in research and development (R&D)in nanotechnology are being undertaken by many countries dueto far-reaching benefits encompassing the entire arena of scienceand technology. The field of defence is likely to profit immensely bynanotechnology-enabled applications. The impact of these applicationswill have a direct bearing on soldier in the battlefield in terms ofenhanced protection, lethality, manoeuvrability, communication, healthmonitoring, and surveillance. This article dwells upon the current globalscenario of nanotechnology and how a 'soldier as a system' can beconceived through integration of nanotechnology-enabled applications. |
