Materials Transition
Abstract
This project develops and demonstrates advanced materials and processing technologies for fielded and planned Air Force weapon, airframe, and propulsion applications. Advanced materials and processes that have matured beyond applied research are characterized, critical data are collected, and critical evaluations in the proposed operating environment are performed. This design and scale-up data improves the overall affordability of promising materials and processing technologies, providing needed initial incentives for their industrial development. In FY 2021, the entirety of Project 633946, Materials Transition, is transferred from PE 0603112F, Advanced Materials for Weapon Systems, to PE 0603030F, AF Foundational Development/Demos, Project 633946, Materials Transition, as part of the Air Force RDT&E BA 03 PE consolidation, in order to realign technology areas that better support the National Defense Strategy, Air Force Future Operating Concept and AF 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.
