LIFT - Hypersonic Materials Acceleration (#3) - Program Increase
Abstract
LIFT utilizing a Navy Other Transaction Authority (OTA) Public Private Partnership seeks increased hypersonic materials developmentof ICME (Integrated Computational Materials Engineering) as a critical core competency for the Navy. LIFT has invested in and developed a significant ICME hypersonic capability and infrastructure via team projects proposing a two-pronged rapid design of advanced future generation materials and manufacturing processes for application in the time frame beyond 2025. Through initial program efforts, LIFT developed significant capability with ICME for ceramics and additively manufactured metallics subjected to hypersonic conditions. This capability will be extended to ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) produced via traditional methods as well as metallics produced via large deformation processing. ALMMII, the Great Lakes Region#s premier advanced manufacturing and economic development asset, is rapidly becoming the nation#s leader in strengthening the industrial base and accelerating manufacturing process technology. As a strategic regional economic development asset with national reach and as a Public-Private-Partnership supported by the UnitedStates Department of Defense, industry (including Fortune 100 and SMM#s) and academia (200+ of the nation#s top universities and vocational colleges), our mission is to empower and accelerate the ideation, development and commercialization of new manufacturing processes, technologies and materials to strengthen the industrial and defense manufacturing base.
