Accelerated Insertion of Materials - Composites

Abstract

This document contains a briefing on the Accelerated Insertion of Materials - Composites (AIM-C) program. The objective of the AIM-C program is to provide concepts, an approach, and tools that can accelerate the insertion of composite materials into DoD products. These will be accomplished in three ways: 1. Methodology - to 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 - to develop a software tool, resident and accessible through the Internet that will allow rapid evaluation of composite materials for various applications. 3. Demonstration/Validation to 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.
