Natural analogies in defense technologies

Abstract

Nature has inspired scientific progress in numerous ways, including defense science. Humanity has always studied natural phenomena, the solutions it ’developed’ through evolution. The above topic, the demand of systemizing and investigating its usage in other fields established a new discipline during the 20th century, called Bionics. This new study deals with a large range of topics, from the simplest copying of natural forms to the more complex processes, adapting the new information and results into almost all areas of life.
