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 platforms: DDG-51, CVN-78 Class Carrier, VIRGINIA Class Submarine (VCS) / OHIO Replacement Program (ORP), Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), and, starting in FY16, CH-53-K. Funding for FY 2016 and beyond has been realigned to new PE 0603680N. At this R2A level, FY 2016 Funding of $4.800M from Composites Processing and Fabrication in this PE has been re-aligned to PE 0603680N Composites Processing and Fabrication.
