I am very grateful for the guidance and support that was provided by Jeff Swab, Andy Wereszczak, Jim McCauley, and the organizing committee in putting this symposium together. Consistent with the history of this symposium, we strived to create a program that would foster discussion and collaboration be- tween researchers from around the world in academia, government, and industry on various scientific issues associated with the topic of armor ceramics. The 2014 symposium consisted of approximately 55 invited, contributing, and poster presentations from the international scientific community in the areas of syn- thesis & processing, manufacturing, materials characterization, testing & evalua- tion, quasi-static & dynamic behavior, modeling, and application. In addition, be- cause of their importance for the foreseeable future, this symposium also had special focused topic sessions on Adhesive Bonding of Ceramics and Boron Car- bide. Based on feedback from attendees, the 2014 symposium was a success, and the manuscripts contained in these proceedings are from some of the presentations that comprised the 12th edition of the Armor Ceramics Symposium. On behalf of Jeff Swab and the organizing committee, I would like to thank all of the presenters, authors, session chairs, and manuscript reviewers for their efforts in making this symposium and the associated proceedings a success. I would also especially like to thank Andy Wereszczak, Todd Beaudet, Vlad Domnich, Mike Golt, Steve Kilczewski, Jim McCauley, Bob Pavlacka, and Jared Wright for step- ping up to host and chair the symposium when we were unable to due to remnant effects of Sequestration. Last, but not least, I would like to recognize Marilyn Stoltz and Greg Geiger of The American Ceramic Society, for their support and tireless efforts without which the success of this symposium would not be possible.
