Defense Wide Manufacturing Science and Technology Program

Abstract

The Defense-wide Manufacturing Science and Technology (DMS&T) program is the joint, defense-wide component of the DoD Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program directed in Title 10 U.S.C. Section 2521. DMS&T also supports many of the recommendations in the Executive Order Report “Assessing and Strengthening the Manufacturing and Defense Industrial Base and Supply Chain Resiliency of the United States” September 2018. The objective of the DMS&T program is to increase the speed at which innovation, inventions, and scientific discoveries are turned into equipment and capabilities through advances in manufacturing technologies and processes. The DMS&T program has created and is sustaining a manufacturing innovation ecosystem across the two project codes in this Program Element (PE): P680 OSD Manufacturing Technology and P350 the DoD Manufacturing USA Institutes. Project Code (P) 680 OSD Manufacturing Technology: The OSD Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) program focuses on cross-cutting defense manufacturing advancements and stimulates early development of manufacturing processes and enterprise business practices. P350 DoD Manufacturing USA Innovation Institutes: This project supports the eight DoD-led manufacturing innovation institutes that are part of the Manufacturing USA network of manufacturing innovation institutes, plus the stand-up of a new Synthetic Biology Manufacturing Innovation Institute, in accordance with current mission requirements. The technology focus areas are: (1) additive manufacturing; (2) digital manufacturing, design and manufacturing cybersecurity; (3) lightweight metals; (4) integrated photonics; (5) flexible hybrid electronics; (6) smart fibers and textiles; (7) advanced tissue biofabrication; (8) advanced robots for manufacturing; and (9) synthetic biology. Each institute is a public/private partnership that matches DoD funding at a one to one ratio or greater and has a consortium of members from industry and academia to mature manufacturing processes, build out the supporting ecosystems, and provide manufacturing education and workforce development. The ecosystem includes small and medium manufacturers and state-of-the-art pilot facilities.
