Research Analysis on Materials Which Improve the Performance of Military Clothing

Bharatbook.com included “Developments in military clothing, 2008 edition” report which provides aesthetic appeal of military clothing and its impact on soldier morale

Military clothing is an integral part of a soldier’s fighting kit. It plays a key role in protecting soldiers  during combat, and must therefore perform several functions in the most rugged of wearing conditions.  At the same time, it must remain durable.

Developments in military clothing have been driven mainly by changes in the ways in which wars are  fought. Because modern warfare is more likely to take place in congested urban streets than on  battlefields, today’s military clothing has an appearance and performance characteristics which  contrast sharply with those of uniforms worn by soldiers fighting in the trenches during the First  World War.

Since the terrorist attacks on the USA on September 11, 2001 (9/11), and the consequent war on  terror, the demand for military clothing, body armour and other military equipment has risen sharply.  In turn, this rise has greatly benefited a number of clothing manufacturers in the Western world.

The ever present threat of terrorism has raised concerns about the vulnerability of military forces in  general, and troops in war zones in particular. Governments around the world have sharpened their  focus on military preparedness—including how best to clothe and equip their countries’ soldiers. They  have invested heavily in the development of military uniforms which improve a soldier’s performance  and comfort and offer the potential to save lives during combat.

As a result, developments in military clothing are being made today at a faster pace than at any time  in history. New battledress concepts which harness nanotechnology and other advanced technologies  have been devised with a view to helping the performance of soldiers on the battlefield by improving  their ballistic protection, reducing the weight they carry, optimising their camouflage and amplifying  their physical strength.

For the future, scientists have designed concepts for highly advanced multi-functional combat wear.  However, it many take several years before these technological breakthroughs can be translated into  wearable products.

Military Nanotechnology: New Technology and arms Control

Product Description

With revolutionary changes in nanotechnology (NT) now on the horizon, many countries have started major research and development (R&D) programmes, which are mainly civilian. Often overlooked are military R&D programmes – in particular those of the US government. This is the first systematic and comprehensive presentation of the potential military applications of NT.

In ten to twenty years, these applications may include extremely small computers, robots, missiles, satellites, launchers and sensors. They may also provide lighter and stronger materials for vehicles and weapons, implants in soldiers’ bodies, metal-free firearms, autonomous fighting systems, and smaller chemical and biological weapons.

These potential uses raise strong concerns. This assessment is made from a viewpoint of international security, considering the new criteria of dangers for arms control and the international law of warfare, dangers for stability through potential new arms races and proliferation, and dangers for humans and society. Some military applications, such as computers, will be so close to civilian uses that limits are impractical. Others, such as sensors for biological-warfare agents, may contribute to stronger protection against terrorist attacks and better verification of compliance with arms-control treaties.

For preventive limitation of these new technologies, specific approaches are proposed that balance positive civilian uses and take into account verification of compliance, with a view to international peace and security, not national military strength.

This book will be of great interest to scholars of military technology, non-lethal weapons, disarmament and security studies in general.
