Non-Destructive Inspection Development
Abstract
This project develops and demonstrates advanced nondestructive inspection and evaluation technologies to monitor performance integrity and to detect failure causing conditions in weapon systems components and materials. Nondestructive inspection and evaluation capabilities greatly influence and/or limit many design, manufacturing, and maintenance practices. This project provides technology to satisfy Air Force requirements to extend the lifetime of current systems through increased reliability and cost-effectiveness at field and depot maintenance levels. Equally important is assuring manufacturing quality, integrity, and safety requirements are built in. In FY 2021, the entirety of Project 633153, Non-Destructive Inspection Development, is transferred from PE 0603112F, Advanced Materials for Weapon Systems, to PE 0603030F, AF Foundational Development/Demos, Project 633153, Non-Destructive Inspection Development, 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.
