Traditional materials and processes for science, engineering, and technologies in the context of defense systems and military applications.
Is a subject matter expert available to discuss processes currently accessible for the repair of advanced structural fiber-reinforced composites, like IM7/polyetheretherketone, utilized in aircraft applications?
What work is being done with MXene composites (particularly graphene, carbon nanotube, and boron nitride) in national laboratories and in the U.S. Department of Defense?
At the conclusion of a development campaign for a new solid propellant, should rocket motors be loaded and tested from the first-production scale mix?
Over the past decade, additive manufacturing has emerged as a disruptive force in advanced defense manufacturing. However, skepticism about its reliability — particularly for building crucial military hardware — has hindered its adoption. Now, through…
Othmane Benafan is a NASA engineer whose work is literally reshaping how we use aerospace materials — he creates metals that can shape shift. Benafan, a materials research engineer at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in…
ADELPHI, Md. – U.S. Army researchers, in collaboration with academic partners, invented a stronger copper that could help advance defense, energy, and aerospace industries thanks to its ability to endure unprecedented temperature and pressure extremes….
Ultra-high, molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composites are advanced materials that lack experimentally driven, physics-based computational tools for predicting their response. This challenge exists for traditional fiber-based UHMWPE composites in a softer matrix material, as well…
Unlike conventional single- or few-layer graphene, turbostratic graphene, which is derived from biomass feedstock, can perform across a wide range of metrics and applications. To raise awareness and increase domestic production of turbostratic graphene, this…
The U.S. National Science Foundation’s Hybrid Autonomous Manufacturing, Moving from Evolution to Revolution Engineering Research Center (NSF HAMMER-ERC) is a collaboration between five universities to develop agile manufacturing systems that use new tools and advanced…
This event gathers Advanced Functional Fabrics of America (AFFOA) members and the greater ecosystem from across the US each year at the Advanced Functional Fabric Summit. Attendees learn about new advanced fiber and fabric technology…
The NDIA 2025 Future Forces Capabilities Conference & Exhibition will discuss how new technologies and capabilities will influence future military operations. The conference will provide a platform for collaboration between the defense industry and military…
SpaceCom | Space Congress exclusively draws participation from industry leaders and organizations with the power to drive new space strategies, fuel forward progress, signal demand for continued innovation, inform policy, and institute a sustainable future…
