Strategic Materials

Abstract

The Strategic Materials Seminar focused its study on ceramics, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, composites, and advanced materials. A series of common themes became apparent during this study. Economic engagement and assured access to the global supply of materials are critical. The United States must be capable of applying all instruments of national power, including military capabilities, to ensure that access. Ultimately, what is important is the integration of materials science and manufacturing processes. Finally, the near-term product emphasis is jeopardizing long-term research and development. It is here that the seminar has identified both the greatest potential risk to national security and an opportunity for government investment.
