Superconductivity: Recent Developments and Defence Applications
Abstract
The recent advances in superconductivity have led to much speculation about the possible applications of the new technology to all walks of life. In an attempt to determine what defence applications have realistic expectations of coming to fruition, a number of opinions solicited from defence scientists is summarized and reviewed along with information obtained from selected journal and magazine articles. Keywords: Superconductors; Superconductivity; Defense systems; Research management; Military research; Reviews; Product development; Manufacturing; Stability; Microelectronics; Detectors; Electric propulsion; Magnetic properties; Magnets; Medical equipment; Shielding; Power transmission lines; Robots; Josephson junctions; Electric batteries; Canada.
