Manufacturing Enterprise/Other
Abstract
The Manufacturing Enterprise / Other activity includes: (1) efforts targeted towards improving, in general, the manufacturing enterprise for the production of key naval platforms (both shipbuilding and aircraft), (2) energetic efforts, (3) naval research enterprise and laboratory support for key projects, and (4) technical program support. Manufacturing Enterprise addresses the development, optimization, and transition of manufacturing enterprise technology to key naval platform suppliers. Emphasis is on affordability for the following shipbuilding platforms: VIRGINIA Class Submarine (VCS)/OHIO Replacement (ORP), DDG 51 Class Destroyer, CVN 78 Class Carrier, Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), and CH-53K Heavy Lift Helicopter. Manufacturing enterprise technology areas include, but are not limited to Design for Producibility/Design for Manufacturability; development of build/assembly strategies; modeling and simulation technologies; model-based tools and approaches to optimize producibility; intelligent manufacturing planning and factory execution; elimination of inefficiencies in design optimization, material usage, labor utilization, work flow, etc.; supply chain procedures and improvements (such as network centric manufacturing capabilities to facilitate resilient and adaptable supply chains); development of more efficient structural fabrication product lines; and inspection technologies. Energetics efforts concentrate on developing energetics solutions to ensure the availability of safe, affordable, and quality energetics products largely in support of Program Executive Office (PEO) Integrated Warfare Systems (IWS). The funding increase from FY16 to FY17 is due to an investment strategy shift from primarily supporting ship platforms to more balance with JSF and CH-53K and subsequently more focus on the Manufacturing Enterprise/Other technical area.
