This Defense Intelligence Reference Document from the Defense Intelligence Agency, dated 6 April 2010, reviews electromagnetic and optical metamaterials for aerospace use. It was produced in FY 2009 under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) Program. The report covers super-lenses and hyper-lenses for imaging objects smaller than the diffraction limit, slowing light to shrink components, energy-harvesting absorbers, and one-way chiral devices. It concludes that metamaterials matter for aerospace because they allow smaller, lighter components.
