A review of human augmentation and individual combat capability: focusing on MEMS-based neurotechnology

초록

The purpose of this paper is to identify the relationship between human augmentation and personal combat ability improvement that overcomes physical and mental limitations according to the convergence of advanced science and technology such as biotechnology, brain engineering, and mems-based technology. We will first explain the background of the emergence of human augmentation and derive the characteristics of human enhancement through conceptual analysis of the correlation of human augmentation and cognitive abilities, which hold importance for future warfare. Afterward, through the development of brain engineering, we will present areas where advanced science and technology can contribute to improving military combat capabilities, such as cognitive abilities, decision-making abilities, situation recognition abilities, and brain stimulation. Finally, we will review the MEMS-based neural interface systems for the enhancement of human augmentation and individual combat ability.
