(U)Manufacturing Technology Program

Abstract

The Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program is intended to improve the productivity and responsiveness of the U.S. defense industrial base by funding the development, optimization, and transition of enabling manufacturing technologies to key naval suppliers. In general, investments transition emerging Science and Technology (S&T) results to acquisition programs; improve industrial capabilities in production, maintenance, repair and industrial base responsiveness; and advance manufacturing technology to reduce cost, improve performance, and responsiveness. Currently, the ManTech Program is focused on affordability improvements for specific key acquisition platforms as defined in the Navy ManTech Investment Strategy. Key platforms currently targeted include: VIRGINIA Class Submarine (VCS)/OHIO Replacement Program (ORP); DDG 51 Class Destroyer; CVN 78 Class Carrier; Joint Strike Fighter (JSF); and CH-53K Heavy Lift Helicopter. Office of Naval Research (ONR) ManTech helps these Navy programs achieve their respective affordability goals by transitioning developed manufacturing technology which, when implemented, results in needed cost reduction or cost avoidance. Due to the number of efforts in this Program Element (PE), the programs described herein are representative of the work included in this PE.
