Abstract

The rapid technology innovations and mounting geopolitical challenges are actively shaping the trajectory of global security and defense. A significant part of this future depends on the capabilities of the 4D printing technology as a primary change-driver in the field. This paper presents theoretical research on the trends and possibilities for implementation of this new technology in the military end use.
