Second Day
Several participants argued that UAVs (UASs) in general are of high importance, but the least
likely to benefit from adaptive materials and structures. They are inexpensive and easy to build, and
currently, very difficult to defend against, even without reconfigurability or adaptive structural
components. It was pointed out that today’s UAVs already benefit from adaptive materials such as
shape memory alloys and electroactive polymers. Participants discussed whether marginal
incremental performance enhancements are expected by the use of additional adaptive materials.
Participants then followed several lines of discussion dealing with vulnerabilities including:
morphing, adaptive marine vehicles, adaptive optics, and granular materials. At the end of the session,
the chair of the committee asked for some final thoughts from the attendees.
