Industrial Preparedness

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 and transition of leading edge manufacturing technologies. The ManTech program is executed through a Center of Excellence (COE) strategy. A majority of the COEs are consortium based with only a small group of technical and management personnel at the center. ManTech projects are primarily performed by industry participants that bill the COE which, in turn, bills the Navy which causes a non-traditional financial execution profile for the program. The program therefore does not meet traditional execution benchmarks. The ManTech program, by providing seed funding for the development of moderate to high risk process and equipment technology, permits contractors to upgrade their manufacturing capabilities. Ultimately, the program aims to produce high-quality weapon systems with shorter lead times and reduced acquisition costs. Due to the number of efforts in this PE, the programs described herein are representative of the work included in this PE.
