Questions or Inquiries about your DD Form 2345 or the process to obtain a DD Form 2345, please contact the Joint Certification Office (JCO) at JCP-ADMIN@DLA.MIL or by phone at 877-352-2255.
Employee Verification
Your Facility Security Officer (FSO)/Data Custodian/HR’s approval will be REQUIRED for attendance to the Conference.
During the registration process, you will need to supply the name and email address of your FSO/Data Custodian/HR contact. An email will be sent to the FSO/Data Custodian/HR contact you supplied, so ensure you have entered the correct contact information on the registration form. A response from your FSO/Data Custodian/HR contact is REQUIRED for attendance to the conference.
Export Control Training
Your Facility Security Officer (FSO)/Data Custodian/HR Contact will also be asked to verify that you have completed an Export Control Compliance (or ITAR) Training in 2024.
If your company does not provide Export Control Compliance (or ITAR) Training or if you are unsure that you have taken Export Control Compliance (or ITAR) Training in 2024, please review the Export Control Training from the DLA (Intro to Proper Handling of DoD Export Controlled Data) a 15-30 minute read. If using the DLA Training, please provide a notification to your FSO/Data Custodian/HR Contact that you have taken this DLA Training so that they can verify the training date to approve your registration.
Returning for 2025
Sunday Training Session!
Sunday, January 26 - 9:30 AM - 5 PM
Lunch & Refreshments will be provided.
ABOUT THE COURSE
The workforce development short course will introduce and train participants on materials science and engineering of ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTC) materials, ceramic matrix composites (including carbon-carbon composites), as well as some refractory metals. This session is delivered in an ITAR compliant environment and is beneficial for engineers, technicians, production operators, quality assurance personnel, supply chain vendors, and subcontractors.
Topics covered include:
- History of hypersonic flight and design
- Hypersonic aerothermodynamics and materials challenges
- Introduction to mechanical properties
- Thermal properties
- Applications of thermal and mechanical properties
- Composites including carbon/carbon and ceramic matrix composites
Participants will receive a full set of notes for the college course this short course is based on.
MEET THE INSTRUCTOR
Professor Rodney W. Trice
Professor Rodney Trice, whose home department is in the School of Materials Engineering at Purdue University, has focused on many fundamental and applied research topics over the last 25 years. Prof. Trice, his students, and his faculty collaborators have investigated structure-property relationships of plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings at high temperature, researched the effect of petroleum-based and biofuel impurities on degradation of thermal barrier coatings, and established the importance of the suspension plasma spray process for industrial purposes. Prof. Trice begin working in the hypersonics research area in 2010. He is currently investigating the following hypersonic materials related topics: high-temperature high-emissivity coatings for carbon/carbon composites, processing of IR and RF windows, additive manufacture of C/C composites, direct ink write of SiC short fiber/SiC composites, digital light projection of UHTCs and RF window materials, novel energy absorbing ceramics, and powder-processing schemes to fabricate ceramics into complex shapes. His current research is supported by industrial sources, ONR, BETO, Draper Labs, AFRL, and AFOSR. He is a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society and handles ceramic-related submissions for Additive Manufacturing and Materials Research Letters.
Lunch N' Learn Sessions!
The Composites, Materials, & Structures (CMS) Conference is pleased to offer Lunch ‘N Learn sessions again this year to promote workforce development and knowledge building regarding materials for extreme environments.
- The daily sessions (Monday thru Thursday) will be presented by subject matter experts across a variety of important topics including material fundamentals, testing and evaluation, and key historical programs and lessons learned.
- These learning sessions are targeted to help young engineers/scientists or those who are unfamiliar with a topic as these will be “general overview” sessions (“100 level topics”).
- The Lunch ‘N Learn Sessions will be free and open to all conference attendees. These sessions will be included in the registration price and no additional sign-up will be required.
- Lunch will NOT be provided, so attendees should bring their own lunch.
