METALS PROCESSING AND FABRICATION
Abstract
The objective of the Metals Processing and Fabrication activity is to develop affordable, robust manufacturing processes and capabilities for metals and special materials critical to defense weapon system applications. Major areas that support this objective include: processing methods, special materials, joining, and inspection and compliance. These efforts directly impact the cost and performance of future aircraft, rotorcraft, land combat vehicles, surface and subsurface naval platforms, space systems, artillery and ammunition, and defense industry manufacturing equipment. Emphasis 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 re-aligned to new PE 0603680N. At this R2A level, FY 2016 Funding of $16.700M from Metals Processing and Fabrication in this PE has been re-aligned to two activities within PE 0603680N: $15.500M Metals Processing and Fabrication, $1.200M Manufacturing Enterprise/Other.
