Welcome to the AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate (AFRL/RX). As one of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s 10 technology directorates, RX develops materials, processes, and advanced manufacturing technologies for aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, rockets, and ground-based systems and their structural, electronic and optical components. Air Force product centers, logistic centers, and operating commands rely on the directorate’s expertise in metallic and nonmetallic structural materials, nondestructive inspection,
materials used in aerospace propulsion systems, sensor materials, laser-hardened materials, systems support, and advanced manufacturing methods to solve system, expeditionary deployment, and operational challenges.
