Final Packet Presented To DepSecDef

UNCLASSIFIED
The author elegantly describes how this "commonly encountered inconsistency
between technical innovation and commercial progress" has become [in the West]
a current deterrent to the development and the deployment (adoption) of "literally
all classes ... ofpolymers, metals, and ceramics."

Metallic Glasses: Status and Prospects for Aerospace Applications
l(b)(6) I
I found it to be a clear and even-handed evaluation of the pros and cons of bulk
metallic glasses (BMG) and composites employing them. The author clearly points
out possible advantages in processing while he equally clearly points out the
difficulties associated with inherent unstable shear band formation and
consequent lack of general ductility.

Theory and Experiments of Invisibility Cloaking
l(b)(6) I
Overall, this is a nice qualitative description of the rapidly moving field of
invisibility and cloaking and can serve as a good starting point for someone
interested in diving into the details ofthis new technology.

State-of-the-Art & Evolution of High Energy Laser Weapons
l(b)(6) I
The technical discussions and history review are generally correct to the extent
they address the topics and this paper is a good general introduction for those
unfamiliar with high energy lasers.
