End Item Industrial Preparedness Activities

Abstract

This program element (PE) demonstrates manufacturing processes that enable producibility and affordability of emerging and enabling technologies. Initiatives within the PE result in cost savings and reduced risk of transitioning military-unique manufacturing processes into production. This PE also fosters the transfer of new/improved manufacturing technologies to the industrial base, including manufacturing efforts that have potential for high payoff across the spectrum of Army systems and/or significant impact on national manufacturing issues (project E25). Major investment areas include Aviation Systems, Armor and Survivability, Sensors, Electronics and Power Systems, Precision Munitions and Armaments, and Flexible Displays. Project EA2 funds congressional special interest items. Work in this PE is related to, and fully coordinated with, PE 0603710A (Night Vision Advanced Technology), PE 0602303A (Missile Technology), PE 0602105A (Materials Technology), PE 0602618A (Ballistics Technology), PE 0602601A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Technology), and PE 0603005A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Advanced Technology) and PE 0602705A (Electronics and Electronic Devices). The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this PE is performed by the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM) and efforts are executed by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and appropriate Army Research, Development, and Engineering Centers (RDECs).
