A mobile, autonomous cold spray metallization system sprays a corroded windowsill on a V-22 Osprey during the unit’s first-ever U.S. trials for structural repairs, held in late 2019 at Fleet Readiness Center East. The demonstrations took place as an initial evaluation of the program, which is a joint effort between Naval Air Systems Command and the Office of the Secretary of Defense’s Foreign Comparative Testing Program. NAVAIR materials engineers with the Advanced Technology Team at FRCE helped develop the program and bring it to the pilot testing phase.
