METALS PROCESSING AND FABRICATION
Abstract
The objective of the Metals Processing and Fabrication activity is to develop affordable, robust manufacturing processes and capabilities for metals and special materials critical to defense weapon system applications. Major areas that support this objective include: processing methods, special materials, joining, and inspection and compliance. These efforts directly impact the cost and performance of future aircraft, rotorcraft, land combat vehicles, surface and subsurface naval platforms, space systems, artillery and ammunition, and defense industry manufacturing equipment. Emphasis in FY 2009 and outyears is on shipbuilding affordability for four major platforms: DDG-1000, CVN-21, VCS, and LCS, with some funding geared toward metals processing and fabrication improvements for high priority air platforms.
