Metals Processing and Fabrication
Abstract
The primary technical goal of the Metals Processing and Fabrication activity is to develop affordable, robust manufacturing and repair processes/capabilities for metals and special materials critical to Navy weapon system applications. Major areas that support this objective include: processing methods, special materials, joining, machining, coating/cladding, assembly, and inspection and compliance resulting in reduced cost of fabrication for components. Emphasis is on affordability for the following platforms: VIRGINIA Class Submarine (VCS)/OHIO Replacement Program (ORP), DDG-51 Class Destroyer, CVN-78 Class Carrier, Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), and CH-53-K Heavy Lift Helicopter. This activity also includes the development, optimization, and transition of repair technology for the repair, overhaul, and sustainment of key navy systems. Funding for FY 2016 and beyond has been re-aligned from PE 0708011N. At the R2A level, FY 2016 Funding of $15.500M from Metals Processing and Fabrication in PE 0708011N has been re-aligned to PE 0603680N Metals Processing and Fabrication.
