Summary of the DoD Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) Steering Committee Meeting. Hosted by the Institute for Defense Analyses, Alexandria, VA, 5-6 October 1989

Abstract

Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) exhibit a number of properties that make these materials attractive candidates for use in advanced Department of Defense and Strategic Defense Initiative systems. Because of this potential it has been the practice of the various government agencies involved in metal matrix composites research and development to convene meetings periodically in order to discuss the nature and progress of the MMC work being carried on. This report covers the proceedings of such a meeting held on 5-6 October 1989 in which two current aspects--namely, (1) the agency programs and funding and (2) systems transitions/applications--were addressed.
