Overview
The Nondestructive Evaluation Sciences Branch represents the major thrusts of the NDE research program. The program focuses on maintaining an NDE science base core, developing new technologies for the Agency, and transferring problem solutions to our customers. As a research and technology organization, we interact with scientists and engineers at Langley Research Center, at other field centers, aerospace contractors, U.S. industry in general, and universities. The LaRC NDE research program is focused in two Offices - Safety and Mission Quality and Aero-Space Transportation Technology which covers applications primarily for Space Operations/Transportation System (spacecraft integrity), Subsonic,Supersonic and Hypersonic Aeronautics (aircraft integrity).
As a National Laboratory, it is our philosophy to provide a national focal point for advancing aerospace NDE technologies and transfer our technology to other appropriate government, industry, and university centers. We hold periodic technology workshops to acquaint U.S. industry with our technology and to facilitate technology transfer through licensing and resulting commercialization of our techniques.
