ARPA-E REPAIR PROGRAM UPDATE
REPAIR, like many ARPA-E programs, pulls in diverse teams whose expertise often comes from outside the target industry. REPAIR teams are leveraging advances in chemistry, material science, robotics, and mapping— which originally were developed for the defense, aerospace, and automotive industries, among others. To ensure we “translate” these advances to the needs of the gas utilities, ARPA-E established the Testing and Technical Specifications Panel (TTSP) to advise the REPAIR program.
