Defense Wide Manufacturing Science and Technology Program
Abstract
Defense Wide Manufacturing Science and Technology (DWM S&T) provides the Department with a comprehensive manufacturing program to achieve the strategic goals of focused technology, improved acquisition across the life cycles, and cost-effective logistics. By designing for manufacturability early in development, anticipated results will have an impact on increasing reliability and decreasing the life cycle burden of weapon systems. DWM S&T will: 1) address manufacturing enterprise issues beyond a single Component or platform and, 2) establish and mature cross-cutting manufacturing processes required for transitioning emerging technologies which impact the time lines, affordability, and productivity of acquisition programs and shorten the deployment cycle times. The DWM S&T program is fundamental to a coordinated development process. Concurrent development of manufacturing processes with the technology prototype enables the use of emerging technologies such as ceramic matrix composites for advanced turbine engines, affordable low observables materials for increased survivability in the kill chain of high value targets, and system-on-chip electronics for communication platforms.
