RFI Advanced Materials Solutions for Defense Applications
Approved 0
The House Appropriations Committee, as part of its FY 2018 Report for the DoD, directed the DoD to conduct an assessment of advanced materials needs for defense applications. 

The DoD requests interested Industry and Academia to provide comments on the state of advanced materials and relevant manufacturing research and development activities, pertaining, but not limited to, general applications mentioned in the Congressional language. The DoD further invites individuals and organizations to make inputs on any or all of the topics identified by Congress.

Industry and academic comments should address the status of activities for which they have particular interest and expertise, but that also are relevant to innovative capabilities and sustainment approaches that contribute to the U.S. national defense. Comments may include advancements enabling enhanced manufacturing and reduced costs, as well as activities and initiatives encouraging training of future scientists and engineers working in advanced materials across the economy. Follow-up interactions with individuals and organizations providing inputs will be at the discretion of the government.

The DoD invites individuals and organizations to respond to any or all of the topics identified by Congress by using the questionnaire under the “Requirement” section below.
