Accelerated Insertion of Materials - Composites: a Technology Investment Agreement

Abstract

The objective of the Accelerated Insertion of Materials - Composites (AIM-C) is to provide concepts, an approach, and tools that can accelerate the insertion of composite materials into DoD products. AIM-C will accomplish this in three ways: 1. Methodology - evaluate the historical roadblocks to effective implementation of composites and offer a process of 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 application. 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.
