LGM-30G Cadmium Replacement Program (CaDRP)
Abstract
Program was cancelled in FY16. Cadmium plating is used in the LF and LCC Motor Generators. Motor generator parts are coated with the material to inhibit corrosion, ensure a low electrical signature (bonding and grounding) and aide in the ability to withstand a nuclear environment. Cadmium is one of the EPA-17 chemicals selected for reduction. Executive Directive 13148 and FAR part 23.703 states, "eliminate or reduce the generation of hazardous waste and the need for special material processing." CaDRP will provide a cadmium replacement coating with the same properties for corrosion inhibiting, bonding and grounding, and nuclear event survivability to meet these directives. Process must meet the weapon system parameters for form, fit, function, system safety, and hardness.
