Adaptive materials and structures : a workshop report / [electronic resource] Committee for a Review of Adaptive Structural Materials Research That Could Pose a Threat to US National Security: A Workshop , Text - Washington, DC : NAP, 2013 - 30 p.

SIP1303 In 2012, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) approached the National Research Council's TIGER standing committee and asked it to develop a list of workshop topics to explore the impact of emerging science and technology. One topic that came out of that list was adaptive structural materials. This workshop was held on July 11-12, 2012. The objectives for the workshop were to explore the potential use of adaptive structural materials science and technology for military application. Understanding the current research in this area, and the potential opportunities to use this research by U.S. adversaries, allows the Defense Warning Office to advise U.S. policy makers in an appropriate and timely manner to take action on those areas deemed a national security risk.
