Scientific and technological advances have a profound impact on the defense capabilities of worldwide nations. These advances were relatively slow at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, but dramatically increased in the 20th century. In this line, biomimetics, a field of constant growth and relevance within the technoscientific community, has the potential create a remarkable impact in the broad fields of security and defense. Some applications of biomimetics, a discipline which can generate novel approaches to address both current and future challenges in these fields, will be suggested.
