About this file
This document contains a project planning roadmap and details of a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) solicitation. The roadmap outlines the Composite Airframe Life Extension (CALE) program, which aims to develop methods to assess and extend the certified service lives of aging USAF aircraft containing composite primary structures. Planned and ongoing projects under CALE include developing probabilistic assessment methods, fastener hole integrity techniques, and demonstrations of life extension approaches. The related BAA solicitation seeks proposals to identify, develop, demonstrate and validate technologies to safely extend certified lives of composite-structure aircraft without full replacement of aged components or repeated certification testing. Proposals are requested to determine residual strength, durability, damage tolerance and reliability of composites throughout original and extended service periods. The soliciting agency is the Air Force Research Laboratory.
