Materials Transition
Abstract
This project develops and demonstrates advanced materials and processing technologies for fielded and planned Department of the 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. This project includes the initiation and development of programs addressing DAF capability gaps and provides technologies for transformational future force capabilities. Transformational efforts will be identified through a competitive process and be responsive to DAF design priorities. Selected efforts will be designated as transformational, indicating enterprise-level priority.
