MINIATURIZED WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION

Chemical and Biological Weapons Miniaturization: NATO has identified that emerging and disruptive technologies, including nanotechnology, synthetic biology and additive manufacturing, threaten to enable the development of more effective or lethal Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) materials that can overcome protective measures and resist detection. Research indicates researchers have reported the use of AI generative technology to create novel molecules predicted to be more toxic than known chemical warfare agents in less than six hours.
Nuclear Miniaturization Efforts: Multiple research programs are investigating fourth-generation nuclear weapons concepts. Pure-fusion physics packages would produce energy equivalent to 133 tons of high explosive for each gram of tritium consumed, with weapons envisaged as providing deep penetration and high energy needed to destroy deeply buried targets. The United States, along with countries such as Russia and Germany, are using the convenience of small nanotechnologies, adhering it to nuclear "mini-nuke" explosive devices weighing 5 lbs with the force of 100 tonnes of TNT.
