Accelerated Insertion of Materials - Composites

Abstract

This document contains briefing charts on the Accelerated Insertion of Materials - Composites (AIM-C) program. The objective of the AIM-C program is to provide concepts, and approach and tools that can accelerate the insertion of composite materials into DoD products. Goals will be accomplished in three ways. 1. Methodology - will evaluate the historical roadblocks to effective implementation of composites and offer a process or protocol to eliminate these roadblocks and a strategy to expand the use of the systems and processes developed. 2. Product development - develop a software tool, resident and accessible through the internet that will allow rapid evaluation of composite materials for various applications. 3. Demonstration/Validation - provide a mechanism for acceptance by primary users of the system and validation by those responsible for certification of the applications in which the new materials may be used.
