FULL BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT IS ATTACHED Current rotor design practice treats the individual physics disciplines associated with each of the many competing design requirements in a largely uncoupled fashion, an approach that gives rise to lengthy, high cost, iterative development cycles. The goal of the program is to shrink the design cycle from the current timeline (on the order of 8 years) to two years. The very large size (in excess of 20ft in diameter) and geometric complexity of US Navy submarine rotors, their attendant nominal, off-design and casualty load conditions, durability requirements, cost and weight limitations, and [BAA2] are unachievable with existing single-material systems. Tailored multi-material systems offer the opportunity to meet these disparate multidisciplinary goals.
