Materials Research to Meet 21st-Century Defense Needs

by National Materials Advisory Board, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, National Research Council

In order to achieve the revolutionary new defense capabilities offered by materials science and engineering, innovative management to reduce the risks associated with translating research results will be needed along with the R&D. While payoff is expected to be high from the promising areas of materials research, many of the benefits are likely to be evolutionary. Nevertheless, failure to invest in more speculative areas of research could lead to...
