lilE U . S . AIR FORCE TECHNOLOGY MODERNIZAT ION PROGRAM
The Air Force Systems Command recently formulated a f orthright and
forward-looking Technology Modernization (Tech Mod) program that
promises to be of real and immediate value by increasing the
productivity of the U.S . titanium industry . Its primary thrust is ~ o
encourage additional capitalization for the industrial base.
Through an Air Force prime contractor (typically a major air
engine or frame manufacturer), a lower-tier manufacturer (e.g. a
titanium mill product producer) can secure a subcontract to improve
his operation with Air Force funds, passing on some of the savings to
the Air Force and making the information available to the public.
As currently envisioned, a Tech Mod program applicable to a
titanium producer might range up to many millions of-dollars and cover
2 to 3 years. The 1981 NMAB titanium panel judges this Air Force
program to be an excellent concept offering important advantages to
all the organizations involved.
