This document provides details for a Broad Agency Announcement solicitation seeking proposals related to Composite Airframe Life Extension technology. The solicitation number is BAA-RQKPD-2015-0001 and is being issued by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory.
The goal of the Composite Airframe Life Extension program is to develop and validate technologies that will allow the United States Air Force to safely extend the certified service lives of existing aircraft that contain advanced composite primary structures. This will be done without widespread replacement of aged structures or repeating demonstration processes. Technologies are sought to predict the residual strength, durability, damage tolerance and reliability of composite materials throughout the original and any extended service life of aircraft. Proposals submitted in response must focus on identifying and advancing such predictive capabilities for composite airframes.
