Laser Hardened Materials

Abstract

This project develops and demonstrates advanced materials technologies that enhance protection for Air Force aircrews to ensure safety and to enable aircrews to perform required missions in threat environments. Advanced materials technologies also enhance protection for Air Force sensors and systems to ensure safety, survivability, and operability in threat environments. In FY 2021, the entirety of Project 632100, Laser Hardened Materials, is transferred from PE 0603112F, Advanced Materials for Weapon Systems, to PE 0603030F, AF Foundational Development/Demos, Project 632100, Laser Hardened Materials, as part of the Air Force RDT&E BA 03 PE consolidation in order to realign technology areas to better support the National Defense Strategy, Air Force Future Operating Concept, and Air Force Science and Technology Strategy, April 2019. The Project and associated efforts will continue to be executed by the Air Force Research Laboratory Materials and Manufacturing Technology Directorate located in Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, This is an administrative realignment for consolidation, and not a new start.
