	Opportunities in Protection Materials Science and Technology for Future Army Applications   Armor plays a significant role in the protection of warriors. Over the course of history, the introduction of new materials and improvements in the materials already used to construct armor have led to better protection and a reduction in the weight of the armor. But even with such advances in materials, the weight of the armor required to manage threats of ever-increasing destructive capability presents a huge challenge.
	An Assessment of the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory The U.S. underground community has pushed for larger underground facilities on the scale of major laboratories in other countries. An Assessment of the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) addresses this matter by evaluating the major physics questions and experiments that could be explored with the proposed DUSEL.
	Assessment of Marine and Hydrokinetic Energy Technology: Interim Letter Report The report provides an evaluation of detailed appraisals for the Department of Energy estimating the amount of extractable energy from U.S. marine and hydrokinetic resources. In order to assess the overall potential for U.S. MHK resources and technologies, this report evaluates the methodologies, technologies, and assumptions associated with the wave and tidal energy resource assessments.
