We're seeking information on ultra-high-strength materials to enhance performance of ground combat missions. We've defined four functional areas of interest for this RFI: Mobility, Counter-mobility, Survivability, and Concealment. go.usa.gov/xUSBS #MaterialsScience

#3DPrinting on a grand scale! U.S. Marines #Marines and engineers used a specialized concrete 3D printer to construct a 500 sq. ft. barracks in under 40 hours, saving both money and manpower. See out how this technology is changing the way we build! go.usa.gov/xUSa5 #KnowYourMil pic.x.com/8ZQ5Bk7AcS
