Abstract
This project supports the costs associated with the research and development of expeditionary logistics capabilities such as the Expeditionary Fabrication (XFAB) Facility and Tactical Fabrication (TACFAB) suite in support of Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations and Distributed Operations. The project supports the investment to develop the digital infrastructure required to support the implementation of 3D printing; the 3D printing of expeditionary capabilities such as buildings, bridges, ship-to-shore landing crafts and other large scale constructs; the characterization of material that can be used for repair parts and potential feedstock to include the use of discarded materials on the battlefield; engineering analysis and testing; and innovation/problem solving training to enable Marines to leverage advanced manufacturing technologies. The Expeditionary Logistics Initiative will give Marine units access to additive manufacturing techniques to allow them the opportunity to exercise innovation to resolve issues affecting unit combat readiness in austere environments. This effort supports the development of procedures to enable the approval and manufacturing of items requested from Marines and incorporates the development of strategic partnerships with other DoN Systems Commands and field activities to exploit additive manufacturing technologies in support of our Naval Forces.
