This Broad Agency Announcement solicits proposals for the Composite Airframe Life Extension program. The program aims to identify, develop, demonstrate and validate technologies that will allow the Air Force to safely extend the certified service lives of aircraft with advanced composite primary structures. It seeks to do so without widespread replacement of aged composite structures or repeating lengthy demonstration processes. Technologies are sought to determine and predict the residual strength, durability, damage tolerance and reliability of composite materials throughout original and potential new service life cycles. The Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory is the issuing agency.
