Defense Wide Manufacturing Science and Technology Program
Abstract
This program supports the Department's initiatives to Build Sustainable and Long-Term Advantage and Build a Resilient Joint Force Defense Ecosystem. The Defense-wide Manufacturing Science and Technology (DMS&T) program is the joint, defense-wide component of the Department of Defense (DoD) Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program directed in Title 10 U.S.C. Section 2521. DMS&T addresses joint, cross-cutting, and high-risk/high payoff technologies; manufacturing challenges within the DoD critical technology areas; and 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 DMS&T program objective 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 created and is sustaining a manufacturing innovation ecosystem via activities within four Program Element (PE) Project Codes: 350 - DoD Manufacturing Innovation Institutes (MIIs), 351 - Manufacturing Education and Workforce Development (M-EWD), 680 – Manufacturing Science and Technology Program (MSTP), and 681 – Technology Industrial Base (TIB).
