These materials are required to maintain construction schedules of various Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) products (such as polymer molds/components, surface treatment components, etc.) for various Navy projects such as Conformal Acoustic

Velocity Sensor (CAVES), COLUMBIA Class Program, and VIRGINIA Class Program. A lapse of the material will create a stop work situation for CAVES, COLUMBIA, and VIRGINIA.

Identifying a new material to satisfy performance and material integrity specifications would require a solicitation to identify potential vendors, resulting in a 12 month impact to schedule.

Completing the necessary testing listed in NSWCCD-72-TR—2010/103 “Polymer Test

Procedures for Naval Applications” would result in an additional 5 years in testing.
