Abstract
Nanotechnology staggered the whole world with its promising potential opportunities. Apart from its diverse applications in multiple fields, its journey now extends to the arms industry. This escalated not only advancement of ineffective weapons but also stands strong to provide better security and comfortability to our warriors. Integrated computers that can remotely control any weapon, materials manufactured by minimal metals which would be more difficult to be located by RADARS, etc. These ideas are only a glimpse of emerging possibilities that would trigger the use of graphene in the arms industry. Lightweight bulletproof jackets with enhanced durability, wearable sensors, and long-lasting batteries are working as a backbone in defense. This review provides an insight into capabilities offered by graphene and its contribution till today in form of bulletproof vests, sensors, detectors, etc.
