Materials

Abstract

This program develops advanced materials, processing, and inspection technologies to reduce life cycle costs and improve performance, sustainability, availability, affordability, supportability, reliability, and survivability of current and future Air Force systems and operations. The program has four projects that develop: (1) structural, propulsion, and sub-systems materials and processes technologies; (2) electronic, optical, and survivability materials and processes technologies; (3) sustainment materials, processes technologies, and advanced non-destructive inspection methodologies; and (4) air base operations technologies including deployable base infrastructure, force protection, and fire fighting capabilities. Efforts in the program have been coordinated through the coordinated through the Department of Defense (DoD) Science and Technology (S&T) Executive Committee process to harmonize efforts and eliminate duplication. This program is in Budget Activity 2, Applied Research, since it develops and determines the technical feasibility and military utility of evolutionary and revolutionary materials technologies.
