Summary: | Terahertz technology, as an advanced frontier technology, is both an opportunity and a challenge for military development. This paper discusses the terahertz technology, the generation and detection of terahertz and the physical properties of terahertz waves, summarizes and analyzes the application of the current mainstream terahertz technology in the military field. It elucidates the military applications of non-destructive testing of special parts of space shuttle, aircraft “black barrier” communication, anti-missile and anti-stealth terahertz radar, terahertz military early warning reconnaissance, short-range ground battlefield secure communication and “6G” communication electronic warfare.It provides a panoramic reference for researchers at the forefront of military science to quickly grasp the relevant progress of terahertz military applications, and puts forward that terahertz technology has great potential in military applications. Although there is still a long way from stable and reliable large-scale use, it should closely follow the forefront of terahertz science and technology, and actively respond to the opportunities and challenges brought by terahertz technology to the military.
