Making and Maintaining in Advanced Military Systems
Abstract
Studies conducted under this thrust will examine and evaluate advanced approaches to make military system technologies manufacturable and accessible for the DoD and domestic industry. This includes new methods to design, fabricate, package, and test complex assemblies. Certain DoD applications also need these complex assemblies to be used in extreme environments. The feasibility of achieving potential improvements, in terms of resources, schedule, and technological risk, is also evaluated. Topics include: additive manufacturing at scale, portable methods of manufacturing and maintaining platforms and systems at point-of-need, technological solutions to increase rate of testing while continuing to manage risk, and application of novel materials or processes to reduce cost, time, and infrastructure requirements for production of platforms and systems.
