Focusing on the Department of War’s Manufacturing and Materials Science & Technology ecosystem, it explores how AI-enabled decision support, autonomous reasoning, and multi-agent systems can improve portfolio planning, investment prioritization, resource allocation, and technology transition.

The study assesses near-term AI capabilities, governance considerations, and partnership opportunities across government, academia, and industry to help shape a more agile, effective, and mission-aligned approach to materials innovation. Open until August 7, 2026, 11:59 PM ET We invite you to submit suggestions for experts to participate in this activity.

A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine-appointed ad hoc committee will explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities will impact the lifecycle of the Department of War's Manufacturing & Materials Science & Technology (M&M S&T) mission, especially with respect to the planning, assessment, investment, and accelerated transition to the field.

Specifically, the committee will examine the following topics: • The impact of AI on S&T planning, prioritizing, and assessing processes; • The technological state-of-the-art, including the capabilities and limitations, of Augmented Intelligence and autonomous decision-making tools for S&T process applications; • Potential strategic partnerships between DoW and the technology sector, industry, academia, and other federal agencies conducting foundational AI and materials research.

• The role of existing AI-enabled S&T investments and capabilities across the broader federal research ecosystem (e.g., DOE, NSF, NIST), and how these may inform or be leveraged by the Department of War.

To inform the committee’s deliberations, the committee will host a series of public half-day virtual meetings and interviews with leaders from the commercial technology sector, innovative startups, and leading academic research institutions Major units and sub-units Center for Advancing Science and Technology Physical Sciences, Systems, and Infrastructure Program Area Update of the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, 9th Edition Consensus/Advisory Activity Review of Methods and Data Needs for Calculating the Potential Impact Area of a Natural Gas Pipeline Failure for Regulatory Compliance Consensus/Advisory Activity Review of Progress Toward the Decadal Survey Pathways to Discovery in Astronomy and Astrophysics for the 2020s Consensus/Advisory Activity National Conversation on Reimagining the U.S. Research Enterprise: Cross-Sector Perspectives and Emerging Opportunities (Conversation 2) The Agentic AI Revolution and its Impact on the on the Planning, Assessment, Investment, and Accelerated Transition to the Field of Department of War's Materials Science & Technology Enterprise Consensus/Advisory Activity Strategies for Energy Parks in the United States – Issue Paper Individually-Authored Product Review of Methods and Data Needs for Calculating the Potential Impact Area of a Natural Gas Pipeline Failure for Regulatory Compliance Consensus/Advisory Activity The Agentic AI Revolution and its Impact on the on the Planning, Assessment, Investment, and Accelerated Transition to the Field of Department of War's Materials Science & Technology Enterprise Consensus/Advisory Activity Workshop Series on Resource Optimization for Critical Minerals: Recovery Strategies for Waste and Low-Grade Materials Space, Security, and Conflicts Our peer-reviewed reports present the evidence-based consensus of committees of experts.
