OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Advanced Materials OBJECTIVE: To develop a pulse hand-held laser to remove nitrile-phenolic resin from aircraft surfaces. DESCRIPTION: Hand-held laser technology developed for aircraft skin paint removal has not been tailored for nitrile-phenolic film adhesive removal, partly because the nitrile-phenolic film adhesive is a niche application – it falls be ...

OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Advanced Computing and Software OBJECTIVE: To develop a robust zero-trust data fabric for industrial internet of things addressing Air Force sustainment and other interests DESCRIPTION: Recent years have witnessed the rise of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), a newly emergent networking paradigm that connects pervasive sensors, instruments, and other d ...

thicknesses of paint layers on an aircraft or on aircraft components, thereby enabling the removal of paint or primer via laser projection without causing damage to substrates. DESCRIPTION: current standard practices for aircraft “depainting” include hand-sanding, chemical stripping, media blasting, among other means. Manual sanding involves sanding of existing paint layers before applicatio ...

OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Human-Machine Interfaces OBJECTIVE: Develop advanced guidance capabilities for the interpretation and evaluation of BHEC signals. DESCRIPTION: Sub optimal inspector performance in the interpretation and evaluation of BHEC signals is currently rated by AFSC Nondestructive Inspection (NDI) Program Managers as one of the most pressing issues. Inaccurate inte ...
