Special food that will improve their readiness for battle - at least according to a report by
The American "National Research Council". The report, titled “Usage
in Biotechnology in Future Military Applications,"
does not give many details. But its 16 writers, led by Michael Ladish,
A biological engineer at Purdue University, estimates that indeed, within 25 years,
Food that is a product of advanced technology will protect the soldiers from

to be "visible" to their commanders via satellite.
Already today, experiments are being done on edible plants that have been implanted with genes that increase
Vaccination against viruses. So protection against biological weapons by these means
Not such a revolutionary idea, but it is a method that could definitely be discovered
as efficient. Vaccinating soldiers in the traditional way is a slow, expensive and ineffective process

The second idea, Hindu special enzymes in plants to make the

The researchers, with the help of such enzymes, the calories of the meal will be available
for a soldier faster and they will warm him in arctic weather conditions.
An even stranger proposition is that along with their rations, the soldiers of the future
They will also swallow "biomarkers". These are chemical "tags" that will enable forces
equipped with suitable sensors to locate their combat counterparts (the chemicals
will probably work by absorbing light in unique ways, given
for identification).
This use may help reduce incidents of "firing our forces on."
Our forces." According to the report, it may also be possible to locate and identify tags
such as satellites. This will allow officers to "see" their men around
the battlefield even when the enemy cannot.
One of the less appetizing speculations of the report is,
that the biotechnology will allow the soldiers to create "food worthy of eating, digestible."
And nourishing from raw materials that can be collected on the battlefield." But Dr. Ladish
and his colleagues do not specify what these raw materials might be or
