The AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate perform
comprehensive research and development activities to provide the
Air Force with new or improved materials, processes, and
manufacturing technologies. Directorate researchers explore new
materials, processes and manufacturing technologies for use in
aerospace applications including aircraft, spacecraft, missiles,
rockets, and ground-based systems and their structural, electronic
and optical components. With a host of modern materials analysis
laboratories, the Directorate also provides support to Air Force
weapon system acquisition offices and maintenance depots to solve
materials related concerns and problems. The Directorate plans,
executes and integrates advanced manufacturing technology programs
and affordability initiatives addressing manufacturing process
technologies, computer integrated manufacturing and excellence
through design for producibility, quality, costs and the use of
commercial processes and practices for military needs. Through its
Airbase Technologies Division, located at Tyndall AFB, Fla., the
Directorate conducts programs that enhance readiness, deployment,
fire protection, peacetime training, and crash and rescue
operations. The Directorate also manages the Air Force Corrosion
Control Program Office at Robins AFB, Ga.; the Air Force
Nondestructive Inspection Office at Tinker AFB, Okla. and the Air
Force Advanced Composites Office at Hill AFB, Utah.
