FY96 Materials and Processes Technology Area Plan (TAP).
Abstract
The Materials and Processes Technology Area Plan (M&P TAP) describes the research and development activities performed by the Wright-Laboratory's Materials Directorate (WL/XL) at WPAFB, OH. WL/ML is responsible for developing M&P technologies for all Air Force aircraft, spacecraft, and missiles systems. M&P for Structures, Propulsion, and Subsystems thrust of the M&P TAP describes the development of technologies utilizing advanced composite materials, lightweight - aluminum and titanium alloys, high temperature intermetallics, and improved fluids, lubricants, and coatings. Applications include airframe and engine retrofits, high speed aircraft, spacelift, missiles and satellites. The M&P for Electronics, Optics, and Survivability thrust of the M&P TAP describes the development of materials for high temperature semiconductors and superconductors, advanced infrared detectors, non-linear optical devices, and laser hardening. Applications include high power radar and avionic systems, infrared countermeasures, and sensor and aircrew laser protection. The M&P for Systems and Operational Support thrust of the M&P TAP describes the development of nondestructive inspection (NDI) techniques and repair of composite and LO materials. It also describes ML's interface with all Air Force fielded systems through logistic centers and system project offices (SPOs) and by conducting electronic and structural failure analysis. jg p.1
