The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance and transition a regional inspection capability sized for a specific Rapid Applied Materials and Processing (RAMP) facility’s large-casting and heavy-section demonstration path, so that digital radiographic testing (RT) and 3D X-ray computed tomography (XCT) nondestructive evaluation data are available when the RAMP program needs them, with equipment and vault site acceptance consistent with applicable DoW guidance and consensus standards.

Specific objectives include:

  • Complete vault site selection tradeoffs, vault site design, permitting and licensing support, and construction or development activities needed for an operational vault site and installed equipment.
  • Procure, install, test, and accept digital RT and XCT systems within the performance envelope in alignment to RAMP qualification needs.
  • Deliver plans and documentation that support secure handling of parts and data between RAMP and a Large Volume Inspection Systems vault site, plus an operations and sustainment plan consistent with RAMP mission priorities.
  • Commission the capability with acceptance records and a demonstrated volumetric inspection on representative geometry.
