Structures Engineering Research Program (SERP)

Provide air and space vehicle structures R&D will be conducted to deliver future air and space vehicle capabilities to the Warfighter. R&D activities will include, but is not limited to, conceptual design studies, experimental test planning and execution, model fabrication/modification, analytical and experimental data analyses, systems engineering assessments, technology assessments and evaluations, and computational analyses. The R&D activities will be focused around the following Aerospace Vehicles Division technical competencies/research areas: Structural Response Prediction, Structural Life Forecasting, Structural Integrity, Geometry Modeling and Design, Multidisciplinary Modeling and Analysis, Adaptive Structures, Multifunctional Structures, Hybrid Structures, Thermal Structures, and Experimental Validation.
