## Description

**PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:** The Air Force Research Laboratory, Materials and Manufacturing Directorate (AFRL/RX) located at Wright-Patterson AFB (WPAFB) is in the planning stage for a program to transition materials and process (M&P) technology solutions and innovative testing protocols with the goals of improving mission readiness, reducing cost (both production and life cycle sustainment), improving manufacturing, maximizing systems safety, reducing adverse environmental impact, and creating/preventing technological surprise.

This program will span across research (foundational, applied, advanced), quick reaction activities, prototyping, demonstration, and transition of technology and process solutions to meet Department of Air Force (DAF) needs.

This program will include (but not be limited to) specialty materials, composite & polymer systems, metals & mechanical systems, electrical & electronic materials, nondestructive evaluation, chemical analysis, other nonmetallic aerospace materials, manufacturing technologies, energy & resource technologies, and biomaterials/biomanufacturing.

The program shall be responsive to a wide variety of DAF customers, including Major Commands (MAJCOMs), logistics centers, operational units, acquisition offices, other AFRL organizations, and key outside organizations to enable product transition and implementation and meet mission goals.
