Added: May 26, 2009 11:28 am Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the U.S. Army Armaments Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC), Advanced Materials Branch and Organic Materials and Corrosion Branch are interested in advancing the state of the art in corrosion abatement, prevention and mitigation for weapon systems and other Army material. The approach is rather than to treat corrosion as an after the fact maintenance issue, the thrust is to develop technologies, coatings and materials that a weapon system designer could use to greatly reduce the corrosion burden. In essence, the material designer will have the information, tools and protocols available to address corrosion in the design of a product as to significantly reduce future maintenance and costs of ownership. The Advanced Materials Branch and Organic Materials Corrosion Branch are interested in technologies that will extend the life of the weapons, vehicles and other components.
