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 three projects that develop: structural, propulsion, and sub-systems materials and processes technologies; electronic, optical, and survivability materials and processes technologies; and sustainment materials, processes technologies, and advanced non-destructive inspection methodologies. Efforts in the program have been coordinated through the Department of Defense Science and Technology Executive Committee process to harmonize efforts and eliminate duplication. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver science & technology capabilities. The use of program funds in this PE would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0601102F, 0602201F, 0602202F, 0602203F, 0602204F, 0602602F, 0602605F, 0602788F, 1206601SF, and 0602298F. This program is in Budget Activity 2, Applied Research because this budget activity includes studies, investigations, and non-system specific technology efforts directed toward general military needs with a view toward developing and evaluating the feasibility and practicality of proposed solutions and determining their parameters.

Change Summary Explanation
Decrease in FY 2019 in Other Adjustments of $6.410 million is due to realignment of funds to PE 0602212F to support Research and Development Projects, 10 U.S.C. Section 2363, an amendment to PL 110-417, 10 U.S.C. Section 2358 and 10 U.S.C. 2805(d)(1)(B). Increase in FY 2021 of $14.345 million is due to the following: 1) Civilian pay repricing adjustments 2) Initiating Joint Service 1000 Molecules activities to support the sustainable transition of critical synthetic biology capabilities 3) Realignment of the Pervasive and Affordable Metals Technologies effort from PE 0603112F, Advanced Materials for Weapons Systems, Project 633946, Materials Transition, Pervasive and Affordable Metals Technologies, to PE 0602102F, Materials, Project 624347, Materials for Structures, Propulsion, and Subsystems.
