    Nanotechnology Enabled Sensor Applications

    Use or threat of use of the Chemical and Biological Weapons (CBW) remains one of the most dreaded consequences of any modern day conflict. History is strewn with examples of use of chemical and biological agents for tactical or strategic advantage. These weapons whether deployed or used as a threat, act as deterrence against any kind of conventional attack.

    Role of Nanotechnology in Defence

    Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (NT) are emerging fields of science and technology that are witnessing the emergence of an increasing number of new ideas and applications. Many states are seriously looking at military applications of this technology. This paper analyses the impact of NT on defence and looks at its current and futuristic applicability for military purposes, as well as their likely impact on arms control.
