Industrial Preparedness Manufacturing Technology (IP ManTech)
Abstract
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Industrial Preparedness Manufacturing Technology (IP ManTech) Program supports the development of a responsive, world-class manufacturing capability to affordably meet the warfighters’ needs throughout the defense system life cycle. IP ManTech: Provides the crucial link between invention and product application to speed technology transitions. Matures and validates emerging manufacturing technologies to support low-risk implementation in industry and Department of Defense (DoD) facilities, e.g. depots and shipyards. Addresses production issues early by providing timely solutions. Reduces risk and positively impacts system affordability by providing solutions to manufacturing problems before they occur. DLA ManTech includes Combat Rations Network for Technology Implementation (CORANET), Customer Driven Uniform Manufacturing (CDUM), Procurement Readiness Optimization—Advanced Casting Technology (PRO-ACT), Procurement Readiness Optimization—Forging Advance System Technology (PRO-FAST), and Material Acquisition Electronics (MAE) and Battery Network (BATTNET). As well as, Other Congressional Add (OCA) programs that are Congressionally Directed efforts.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Other Program Changes (Budget Control Act 2011): FY2015 - $2.655M Lower funding will cause a significant disruption and delay for critical DLA Manufacturing Technology projects. Reductions to the Combat Rations Program means microwave technology processing which more efficiently processes combat rations will not be ready for industrial implementation driving up support costs. Reductions to the Customer Driven Uniform Manufacturing means the needed collaboration capability the GAO identified among the Services, DLA and the industrial base not be in place leading to non-conforming products and excess costs. Casting Program reductions will result in cancellation of efforts that lowers costs and improves environmental compliance. Other casting projects' schedules will be extended which will increase DOD costs. The reduction to the forging program means new forging technology will not be implemented in the industrial base causing weapon systems' support costs to increase and readiness levels reduced. Reductions to the Battery Network project means that new battery technology vital to operational forces may not be available in the quantities needed for emergencies at a reasonable cost.
