In the 1990’s, the National Science Foundation realized that the United States needed to combine science, technology, engineering, and mathematics into a single effort. So, they created the acronym “STEM” to describe the application of those combined disciplines in both education and in the workplace, in order to help solve the country’s most difficult technological problems. Several population segments have been targeted for STEM learning and application.

We have known for years that our country’s infrastructure has been deteriorating, with little being done to prevent further degradation or to restore vital roads, bridges, tunnels, airports and railways to a safe, operable condition. Because of this serious problem, President Donald Trump promised a $1 trillion infrastructure investment to repair what he called the nation's "crumbling" infrastructure, and to initiate a "new program of national rebuilding."
The DoD functions under a wide array of infrastructure to include, but not limited to, ships, tanks, combat vehicles and buildings. Due to the nature and need of the building materials, these are always at risk for corrosion, causing the infrastructure to literally crumble. This obviously puts Soldiers in harm’s way due to issues such as weapon misfiring and structural failures.
Departmant of Defense Specifications/standards for the prevention and control of corrosion in the aerospace field.
The Society for Preventive Coatings (SSPC) has been an essential partner with the Department of Defense in the fight against corrosion for nearly 10 years. Since 2003, SSPC’s leadership and expertise in corrosion management, prevention and control has been a very important factor in our success at combating the insidious and pervasive effects of corrosion on our facilities and equipment.
Revised in 2020! This standard on corrosion prevention and control (CPC) planning is intended to support future CPC improvements to national acquisition and sustainment of equipment, systems, facilities, and infrastructure at an acceptable cost. It provides a standardized framework for a supplier’s plan to control corrosion of supplied products and structures. The standard is intended for use by public and private facility owners/acquisition agencies that require their suppliers to provide corrosion prevention and control procedures as a deliverable provided with the purchased product, installation, or system. The standard includes:

The technical objective is to demonstrate low-cost solutions to improve building insulation and energy efficiency through the addition of exterior paint coatings.
It is well known that corrosion has a significant impact on sustainment, system costs, and system availability to the warfighter. Mitigating such impacts is one of the greatest drivers to DoD Science &Technology (S&T) requirements and therefore research programs.
Translational science itself is not a new scientific process. Since investigative science experiments were established and results measured, basic and applied science has been translated into useful applications. However, science has not always been investigative or effectively translated into useful applications. And when it has, the translation often consumed a significant amount of time and faced considerable implementation obstacles.
Translational Corrosion Science, the subject of the SSPC 2015 presentation by the Department of Defense Corrosion (DoD) Prevention and Control Program, is a science-based process to accelerate the development and application of high-quality solutions to difficult material degradation problems, and to do so more economically. DoD has launched the translational corrosion science program, assisted by the National Defense University and Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, to fully develop the process concept and to implement the approach.
