Manufacturing Readiness
Abstract
Manufacturing readiness of technologies is a key concern when identifying and mitigating risk to successfully transition these technologies and systems into production. Within each product sector (aeronautical, space, munitions/directed energy, and C2ISR), manufacturing readiness assessments (MRAs) will be applied and manufacturing readiness levels (MRLs) utilized to gauge and manage manufacturing related issues. Advanced Technology Demonstrations (ATDs) will be used when appropriate to aid in efficient transition. Selected acquisition programs will also be assessed to determine readiness for milestone decisions and/or to reduce manufacturing risk. Pervasive, generic and system-specific manufacturing maturation plans will be developed and implemented based on the assessments to reduce overall program risk and to provide an increased awareness of manufacturing issues throughout major weapon system life cycles. Generic and pervasive manufacturing issues will be identified and considered as potential ManTech programs to transition advanced manufacturing technologies into multiple sectors.
