A Survey of U.S. Army Materiel Command Testing Needs for Materials and In-Process Testing

Abstract

This document describes an in-depth survey of the United States Army Commodity Commands materials and in-process testing needs conducted as part of the Materials Testing Technology (MTT) Program. The purpose of the survey was to provide a planning matrix for the scheduling, prioritizing, and funding of projects to accommodate those needs. The results of the survey are presented in three different configurations: (1) Summary by Product Category, (2) Summary by Problem Area, and (3) Summary by Testing Technology. The survey received responses from all Army Major Subordinate Commands representing the various Army materiel categories. The survey has identified several testing situations and product categories which have common needs requiring solutions through test methodology. Keywords: Test methods; Nondestructive testing; Electronic testing; Chemical testing; Mechanical testing.
