A special capsule containing nanomachines. When the capsule strikes a target, it explodes and disperses nanomachines over a wide area.
The nanomachines drift through the air in a cloud, affecting surrounding objects. The density of the cloud increases as one approaches the detonation site, as does its effect.
Nanomachines become hard when attached. They form invisible armor around the object to which they are attached. They are used to temporarily repair damaged armor and can restore "vehicle durability" and "soldier strength.
*Nanomachines are difficult to produce and their supply is limited. Therefore, they cannot be reloaded.
