MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
The objective of this program element (PE) is to evaluate materials for lighter weight and more survivable armor and for more lethal armaments. Project H7G supports the design, development, and evaluation of nanostructure materials and project H84 supports the design, development and evaluation of materials for more survivable and lighter weight armor and armaments. Work in this PE builds on the materials research transitioned from PE 0601102A (Defense Research Sciences), project H42 (Materials and Mechanics) and PE 0601104A (University and Industry Research Centers), project J12 (Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies) and applies it to specific Army platforms and the individual Soldier. This work complements and is fully coordinated with efforts in PE 0602618A (Ballistics Technology), PE 0602601A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Technology), PE 0602786A (Warfighter Technology), PE 0603001A (Warfighter Advanced Technology), PE 0603004A (Weapons and Munitions Advanced Technology), PE 0603005A (Combat Vehicle Advanced Technology), and PE 0708045A (Manufacturing Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work is performed by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Adelphi, MD and Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. Project H7B funds congressional special interest items.
