Hardened Materials Research and Survivability Studies (HMRSS)

The objective of this program is to perform technical efforts or specialized studies using unique technical expertise and innovative solutions for the purpose of conducting research on materials technologies, interactions, or applications in several program areas within the Survivability Portfolio. This research will directly contribute to hardened materials technology advancement or will complement other ongoing research efforts. Research will be performed through specialized and focused studies that allow for the acquisition of new and innovative hardened materials technologies through an understanding of their interactions, properties and applications in support of the mission of the Hardened Materials Branch (AFRL/RXPJ) and programs included in the Survivability Portfolio of the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate (AFRL/RX). Separate Task Orders will contain specific requirements relative to a particular program's technical objectives.
