This attachment provides additional details for a Broad Agency Announcement solicitation seeking proposals to extend the service life of airframes containing advanced composite structures. The Composite Airframe Life Extension program aims to develop and validate technologies to predict the residual strength, durability, damage tolerance and reliability of composite structures throughout original and extended service periods without widespread replacement of aged components or repeated demonstration processes. Proposals are requested to identify methods for determining the integrity of composite primary aircraft structures to allow safe life extension of airframes currently in the U.S. Air Force fleet. The solicitation was issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory on behalf of the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command.
