| 13955. NANOTECHNOLOGY: IMPACT ON MODERN WARFARE. Examines the revolutionary aspects of nanotechnologies and extreme miniaturization and the possibility of transformation they represent for military science (also considering the general impact on economics, politics, and popular culture). Advances the hypothesis that while these new technologies will lead to new weapons and delivery systems, and concomitant changes in military training and command/control systems, they will not by themselves fundamentally alter the major tenets of military science. Describes the current state of development of these technologies, considers current and potential future applications in warfare, examines their limitations as truly transforming technologies. 26 pages, 28 footnotes, 19 bibliographic references. |
