Main aspects of body protection of soldier, like vest, helmet, smart uniform, against small caliber ammunition, in which some elements are made with the use of nanotechnology, are shown. The directions of nanotechnology are concentrated on the following issues: materials, information, biology and energy. Nanomaterials for protection of body soldiers as different types of fibers and nanoparticles, G-Lam nanofibers, fibers and mixture of polymer and nanoparticles in fibers, nanocoated metal, shear thickening fluids and silliputty-type of elastomers in combination with ceramic armour, are mentioned. The different type of technology and measure means in dependence on scale and main parametres of technology nanofibers by electrospinning are explained.
