Advanced Materials (AdMs) in Defense - Thematic Intelligence

Summary

Advanced materials (AdMs) are a critical field of expertise within the aerospace and defense sectors, and the development of materials with unique physical and mechanical properties is key to delivering innovations in the design of ballistic armor, personal protective equipment, hypersonic weapons systems, aircraft, space systems, and many other fields. Investment in this field has remained relatively constant due to its ubiquity in the defense sector, however, the emergence of new applications for AdMs and new threats such as hypersonic weapons are driving a global re-evaluation of the importance of AdMs to military modernization efforts. As such, several major military powers including China, India, Russia, the UK, and the US have re-asserted the importance of developing AdMs to help attain national security objectives and have increasingly prioritized AdMs development and manufacturing initiatives in recent years to reflect this new macro-strategic defense policy.
