Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.
This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract
An overview will be presented of the military challenge we are currently facing along with our investment strategy for developing advanced weapons systems. The major role of improved reliability in reducing both the operation and maintenance costs as well as increasing our military combat capability will be examined along with the key role of R&D programs in meeting future reliability requirements. Finally, some of the new policies we have initiated aimed at developing a more effective DoD R&D program will be presented.
