COST REDUCTION TECHNOLOGIES
Abstract
Cost Reduction Technology efforts include: developing ultrareliable materials and sensors to reduce cost by enabling condition-based and zero maintenance capabilities; and airframe and ship corrosion efforts for advanced cost effective prevention and life cycle management technologies. This activity includes the Navy's share of the Versatile, Affordable, Advanced Turbine Engine (VAATE) program for materials. Investments under this activity were previously reported under Advanced Naval Materials and were broken out to provide improved clarification of the overall investment scope. FY 2011 to FY 2012 funding increase is due the Corrosion Mitigation Technologies and Design Integration and Integrated Hybrid Structural Management System FNC new start efforts. The decrease of funding from FY 2012 to FY 2013 is the result of the transfer of resources from this R2 activity to a new FNC R2 activity titled Enterprise and Platform Enablers. Efforts in this R2 activity have been continued from FY 2012 to FY 2013 into the new R2 activity to support all FNC program EC Investments.
