Manufacturing Science and Technology Program
Abstract
Established to address needs beyond the risk of a single Service or Agency and to complement the Component ManTech programs, the OSD ManTech program concentrates on cross-cutting defense manufacturing needs that are beyond the ability of a single service to address and stimulates the development of manufacturing processes concurrent with S&T development to reduce total ownership cost and facilitate transition of technology to capability for our Warfighters. As a technology investment program, OSD ManTech serves its joint mission requirements by investing in enterprise wide issues with joint service applicability and seeks to enhance manufacturing capability for defense-essential/defense-unique technologies that are beyond reasonable/normal industry and program office risk. In support of this mission the OSD ManTech program invests in broad technology initiatives that support multiple systems’ requirements as well as specific individual projects meeting more focused and immediate warfighter needs. Key OSD ManTech technical areas include Advanced Electronics and Optics, Advanced Materials and Composites, Advanced and Emerging Manufacturing Processes, and Advanced Energetics Manufacturing.
