COMPOSITES PROCESSING AND FABRICATION
Abstract
The primary technical goal of the Composites Processing and Fabrication activity is improving weapon systems affordability, enhancing weapon system effectiveness and improving reliability / war-fighter readiness through the increased utilization of composite materials and structures. This is being achieved through the development and maturation of affordable, robust manufacturing and assembly processes that fully exploit the benefits of composite materials. Concentration is on affordability for the following shipbuilding platforms: DDG-51, CVN-78 Class Carrier (previously CVN-21), VIRGINIA Class Submarine (VCS), and Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) with some funding for composites manufacturing technology for high priority air platforms such as the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF).
