Cover has slight wear and soiling. The global spread of expertise in science and technology and commercial access to advanced technologies with possible military applications could undermine the technological superiority on which U.S. military strength is based. To address this possibility, the U.S. intelligence community must provide adequate, effective warnings of the evolution of critical technologies. The Technology Warning Division of the Defense Intelligence Agency asked the National Academies to undertake a study of technology warning issues. This report, the first part of that study, provides an assessment of critical, evolving technologies; postulates ways potential adversaries could disrupt their development; and identifies warning signs that disruptive methods are under development. The intention of this report is to establish the foundation for a long-term relationship between the National Academies and the technology warning community to support ongoing studies of technology warning issues.

Washington, DC: National Science and Technology Council, Committee on Science, Interagency Working Groups on the Physics of the Universe, 2007. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. [6], 47 pages, plus front cover and back of rear cover. Includes illustrations. Some illustrations in color. Appendices A-E. Acronym List. No dust jacket as issued. The study of matter under extreme conditions of temperature and density--high energy density physics (HEDP)--is an emerging multidisciplinary field with potentially broad benefits to society. This report provides a Federal cross-agency strategic plan for scientific discovery in the broad HEDP field. This plan was developed by the Task Force on High Energy Density Physics under the auspices of the National Science and Technology Council's Interagency Working Group on the Physics of the University. The report articulates how high energy density physics fits into the portfolio of Federally funded missions and includes agency actions to be taken to further this area of study. The discussion of the Federal management of high energy density physics in the report was structured by organizing the research activities into four Federal Research Categories: Astrophysics, High Energy Density Nuclear Physics, High Energy Density Laboratory Plasmas (HED­LP), and Ultrafast, Ultraintense Laser Science.
