Can scientists and engineers replicate Nature and develop systems
that operate in extreme environments? Bio-inspiration is an
established concept which is developing to meet the needs of the
many challenges we face particularly in defence and security. This
book explores the potential of bio-inspired materials and sensing
systems together with examples of how they are being implemented.
It is not an exhaustive study of the subject but provides an
overview of how bio-inspired or -derived approaches can be used to
enhance components, systems and systems of systems for defence and
security applications. Readers will gain an awareness of the
complexity and versatility of bio-inspired components as well as an
understanding of how these technologies can be applied in a variety
of operational scenarios. Consideration is given to using a
conceptual model that can be deployed in distributed or autonomous
operations. Using this model, bio-inspiration with behavioural
science plays a major role in identification, movement, searching
strategies and pattern recognition for chemical and biological
detection. Examples focus on both learning new things from nature
that have application to the defence and security areas and
adapting known discoveries for practical use by these communities.
This graduate level monograph provides an increased awareness of
the need for more sophisticated, networked sensors and systems in
the defence and security communities and will be of interest to
both specialists in this area and science and technology
generalists.
