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, maturation, and transition of affordable and robust manufacturing, assembly, and repair processes that fully exploit the benefits of composite materials. Concentration 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. Funding for FY 2016 and beyond has been re-aligned from PE 0708011N and PE 0603758N. At the R2A level, FY 2016 Funding of $4.800M from Composites Processing and Fabrication in PE 0708011N and funding of $1.200M from Manufacturing Technology S&T from PE06030758N has been re-aligned to PE 0603680N Composites Processing and Fabrication for a total of $6.000M.
