During the past two decades, nanotechnology has progressed from academics and the laboratory research phase to use in a plethora of commercial applications. Also, nanotechnology has matured for certain military and aerospace applications. For instance, nanotechnology is being considered for a range of military applications to include sensors, surveillance, detection, and communications. We expect that nanotechnology development for military applications will culminate in the creation of a new class of weaponry – nano-enhanced weapons. Each section of this chapter discloses an exclusive element of the developmental progress of nanotechnology for military applications at the US Army Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center. The major challenges in nanotechnology for use in military and aerospace systems are discussed in Section 5.1, while the implications of nanotechnology in military and aerospace systems applications are discussed in Section 5.2. Four nano-based microsensor technologies that are developed for the detection of chemical agents are discussed in Section 5.3. Three nanotechnology demonstration techniques and reduced-size sensors for missile health monitoring are discussed in Section 5.4 and two nano-based propellant formulations to provide for a minimum signature solid propellant with increased ballistic and physical properties to meet insensitive munition requirements are discussed in Section 5.5. Nano-based composites for missile motor casings and structural components are discussed in Section 5.6, nano-plasmonics is discussed in Section 5.7, and nano-based thermal batteries and supercapacitors are discussed in Section 5.8. The conclusion is given in Section 5.9. This chapter, which is a useful reference for researchers and technical staff engaged in the research and development of nanotechnology for military and aerospace applications, can be used as a viable reference by engineering students and professors who have a genuine interest in nanotechnology and its applications in the miniaturization of military and aerospace products.

... Best models of classification of pure EVOO and adulterated EVOOs were also obtained from the application of super vector machineclassification (SVM-C) and PLS from Raman data although four adulterated EVOOs were misclassified (Jiménez-Carvelo et al., 2017). Furthermore, Raman peaks at 1265 cm-1, 1441 cm-1 and 1657 cm-1 were used as the ratios of maximum Raman intensities to differentiate different types of vegetable oils and to identify the adulteration in EVOO (Farley et al., 2016). Detection of adulterated EVOO with cheaper oils such as canola, corn, grapeseed, sunflower and vegetable oils were identified at the lowest concentration of 5% adulteration in the study. ...

... Some applications, i.e. optical communication 1 , medical imaging 2 and light detection and ranging (LIDAR) 3 , strive to develop high sensitivity detectors for a specific narrow band of wavelengths. Other fields such as spectroscopy 4 , military 5 and security 6 applications profit from having a single broadband sensor to cover detection of photons in the whole UV to NIR range. In semiconductor technology, broadband detection can be achieved by using appropriate materials and/or utilizing various physical effects to make the optoelectronic devices [7][8][9][10][11][12] . ...

... Further, it was reported a 10% increment in tensile, flexural and impact properties due to the electrochemical coating. Booth et al. 2018 [108] have reported the potential of AM systems to produce smaller and lighter weaponry in army aviation, missile research and autonomous air/ground systems. Specimens were prepared according to ASTM (D3846-02 and ASTM D5379) using FDM technology. ...

... The improvement in LiDAR mounted in UAV/S also holds future promise, as well as the deployment of spaceborne LiDAR systems such as Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) (Beck et al., 2021). Nanotechnology will likely affect GIS and RS products, resulting in smaller, more compact, and more efficient equipment (Edwards et al., 2017). In addition, data accessibility has reached unprecedented levels, making vast amounts of information readily available. ...

... For instance, stabilizers are added to ester based rocket-propellants for the formation of a stable product. 132 Raman spectroscopy technique can be used as an effective tool for non-destructive and rapid evaluation and monitoring of the individual components of the formulation. Additionally, the depletion of the components over time can be monitored during ageing studies of stabilizers. ...

... A study utilized the close-range standoff Raman technique to detect impurities in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) with grape seed and canola oils. As the distance increased from 15 cm to 1 m, the detection sensitivity decreased from 2.5% to 5% adulteration [36]. Another study used temperature-modulated Raman spectra to identify adulterants in EVOO. ...

... The SC light has enabled a wide range of applications, such as frequency clocks [18], broadband spectroscopy [19,20], phase control and stabilization [21], ultra-short pulse compression [22,23], fluorescence/stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy and imaging for chemical and biological sciences [24][25][26][27], STED lithography [28], optical coherence tomography [29][30][31], smart target recognition [32], microwave photonic [33], optical communications [34,35], spread spectrum LIDAR and atmospheric sciences [36][37][38], illumination control [39,40], pulse generation in the order of attoseconds (10 −18 s) [41,42], and coherence control [43][44][45]. The application of supercontinuum light spanning from 450 to 1,650 nm for measuring the absorption spectrum of erbium-doped fiber and transmission spectra of a photonic bandgap fiber and a fiber cavity is discussed in the study by Narukawa et al. [46], whereas the use of the optical filter of the SC light, tunable in the range from 700 to 1,800 nm with 1.3 nm resolution, for the characterization of fiber optical components and systems was proposed in the study by Lehtonen et al. [47]. ...

... [3][4][5][6] Our previous work has confirmed that chemical interaction is possible between oleic acid and ZnO nanowires. 7 In this work, we demonstrate the immobilization of oleic acid molecules on a ZnO nanowire surface and then we experiment with a local chemical bonding environment of oleic acid molecules on a nanowire surface. Oleic acid has been shown to attract different moieties of surfactant present in biologically important molecules. ...
