O n September 14, 2019, the Iranian military launched a swarm of missiles and drones on the oil fields of Saudi Aramco, a Saudi Arabian state-run oil company. The calculated attack was an assault on a key U.S. ally in the region and an affront to American hegemony worldwide. Conceivably, Iran designed the attack to affect the U.S. without actually committing
Energy generated should be stored in a suitable way depending on the type of energy sources. Therefore, in parallel to energy generation technologies, the scope and sophistication of research on energy storage technologies in military are increasing (Fig. 6).
For strategic facilities, this would mean that bases control their own destiny without counting on an ever more vulnerable electric grid. With SMR microgrids, military bases can isolate their power supply from the grid when necessary. In fact, during crises, excess power could be supplied to the civilian sector as it is available.
Electrochromic (EC) technology, with its reversible color changes and special light modulation, has a wide range of applications in adaptive military camouflage. However, there are still some problems such as difficulties with multicolor display, flexible patterned displays, and difficult integration with electrochromic and energy storage that limit its development and
