Research abstract
THE INTENT OF THIS INVESTIGATION IS TO IDENTIFY FIBERS MADE FROM NON-STRATEGIC RAW MATERIALS, PREFERABLY WOOD FIBERS, THAT EXHIBIT OR CAN BE TREATED TO EXHIBIT THE NECESSARY CHARATERISTICS TO ALLOW THEM TO BE USED AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO PETRO-CHEMICAL BASED FIBERS FOR CAMOUFLAGE NETTING MANUFACTURE. THE SOLICITATION CONTAINS SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SURVIVABILITY, VISUAL, NIR, THERMAL IR, AND RADAR SIGNATURE CHARACTERISTICS, AND THIS PROPOSAL ENUMERATES THE METHODS BY WHICH FTI PLANS TO ACCOMPLISH THE IDENTIFICATION AND EVALUATION OF PURE AND COMPOSITE FIBERS AND TREATMENTS WITH THESE SPECIFICATIONS AS A GOAL.
