This book not only explores how nature’s paradigms can be applied to defence and security needs but also addresses some of the wider challenges facing society. Bio-inspired Materials and Sensing Systems explores how we can lean from Nature and use this knowledge to provide new approaches to solving some of these challenges. Written by Peter Biggins, Dstl, John Hiltz, DRDC Atlantic, Canada and Anne Kusterbeck, US Naval Base Laboratory, Washington, the book provides an international overview of how bio-inspired or -derived approaches can be used to enhance components, systems and system of systems for defence and security applications.
