Materials/Processes
Abstract
Lighter, faster, stronger is a winning combination. Naval materials research produces quieter submarines, fuel-efficient ships/vehicles and systems capable of operating under extreme temperature and chemical environments. New materials will result in warfighting advantages, as well as, systems that ensure environmental compliance, improved system reliability/resilience, stealthier materials, reduced manufacturing/maintenance and lower total ownership costs. The efforts research focus include: structural materials; functional materials; maintenance reduction; undersea warfare, physics and chemistry of materials, and manufacturing science. Accomplishments and plans described below are examples for each effort category. This activity also includes peer-review basic research to develop innovative solutions and enhance the science and engineering base. Beginning in FY 2020, The Environmental Science thrust has been re-aligned under Functional Materials to address the evolution of work within this program area.
