Nanotechnology, study of the controlling of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally nanotechnology deals with structures sized between 1 to 100 nanometer in at least one dimension, and involves developing or modifying materials or devices within that size.

5. DIFFERENT NANOSYSTEMS FOR MILITARY

6. Completely secure messaging
Self-repairing military equipment
Intelligent and completely autonomous short and long range highly accurate
weapons
New vaccines and medical treatments
Highly sensitive miniature multiple biological and chemical sensors
Unethical use leading to new biological and chemical weapons
Improved stealth but also means to defeat current stealth techniques

9. Battlesuit Using Nanocomposite
φ Using new polymers as well as designs
of nanocomposites and
mesocomposites, to create molecular
materials that can be used for a
dynamic battlesuit.
φ withstand blast waves as well as ballistic
onslaught.
φ lightweight and flexible enough to allow
the soldier to maintain mobility.
φ Soft switchable clothing can also be
transformed into a reconfigurable cast
that stabilizes an injury such as a broken
leg.

10. INVISIBILITY CLOAK

11. HYPERSTHELTH TECHNOLOGY
• October 19, 2012, Vancouver, Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp
• Hyperstealth is a successful Canadian camouflage design company
with over two million military issued uniforms a over 3000 vehicles
and fighter jets using their patterns around the world.
• Quantum Stealth is a material that renders the target completely
invisible by bending light waves around the target. The material
removes not only your visual, infrared (night vision) and thermal
signatures but also the target’s shadow.
• Works against military IR scopes and Thermal Optics.

12. Waterproof & Bullet Proof Vests
The key component in the 'liquid armor vest' is shear
thickening fluid (or STF) which is what provides the vest
with its strong properties.
 STF is composed of hard particles, which are suspended
in a liquid form.
Nanoparticles of silica are highly important to the
chemical make-up of this solution.
Liquid body amour gives the wearer an impact resistant
vest from bullet damage to pointed objects such as
needles and swords.

13. NANOSENSORS
species:
• Nanosensor designs are capable of detecting a target chemical amongst
multiple chemical species because they allow for numerous sensors within
a single monitoring device.
• Each nanosensor is chemically coated or decorated with functional groups
that can recognize a specific chemical and biological agent.
• NASA Nanosensor: Iphone chemical sensor.
• With 64 nanosensors, it can detect airborne chemicals including ammonia,
methane and chlorine gas.
• Soilders could use their phone ’s GPS to provide sensor location
information to emergency operation centers.

14. Lifesaver bottle
• The lifesaver bottle (UK) contains a membrane
system with 15 nm pores preventing bacteria and
viruses to pass.
• In combination with a standard dirt filter, active
carbon and a hand-operated pump
• it can be used to transform any (sweet) water into
drinking water.

15. NANO FINGERPRINT
• Recognition of the inherent patterns within all materials such as paper, plastic,
metal and ceramics. Each 'fingerprint' is impossible to duplicate and can be
easily read using a low-cost portable laser scanner.
• Ability to verify passports, ID cards and other documents such as birth
certificates with just a scan.
• Greater accuracy then DNA tests.

16. Soldiers Smart Card

17. SMART HELMET
• Antiballistic nanocomposite material (lightweight,
high impact protection)
• Integrated sensors (heart rate sensing) with
microphone and communication.
• Sniper detection

18. NANOWAEPONS
Compact, powerful bombs that use nanometals such as nanoaluminum to create ultra-high burn rate
chemical explosives an order of magnitude more powerful than conventional bombs.
Nanothermite or "super-thermite" is one example of such a "Metastable Intermolecular Composite"
(MIC.)
Superlasers could be used to trigger comparatively small thermonuclear fusion explosions in a
mixture of tritium and deuterium
An entire mini-nuke device could fit into a package weighing less than a few kilograms, and having an
equivalent yield of less than a ton, to hundreds of tons of high-explosives (making them
technically not Weapons of Mass Destruction.)
No radioactive fallout and smaller nuclear weapons.

19. COCKROACH DRONE
• U.S. Air Force is developing tiny unmanned drones that will fly in swarms,
hover like bees, crawl like spiders and even sneak up on unsuspecting
targets and execute them with lethal precision.

20. Sensorcraft “flying radar”
• The SensorCraft radar would combine air and ground moving target identification (GMTI),
• Imaging and foliage-penetration applications; electro-optical/infrared sensors.
• Lightweight and low-cost sensor.

21. Risks in military
• People such as state agencies, criminals and enterprises could use nano-robots
to eavesdrop on conversations held in private.
• Grey goo: an uncontrollable, self-replicating nano-machine or robot.
• As the uniforms wear down it is possible for nanomaterial to break off and enter the
soldiers’ bodies. Having nanoparticles entering the soldiers’ bodies would be very
unhealthy and could seriously harm them.
• there have been studies on the effect of nanoparticles entering a fish through its skin.
The studies showed that the different fish in the study suffered from varying degrees
of brain damage.
• There are very strict regulations on the scientists that manufacture products with
nanoparticles.
• With these strict regulations, they are able to largely decrease the danger of
nanoparticles wearing off of materials and entering the soldiers’ systems.
