A Profile of Defense Manufacturing Costs and Enabling Technologies

Abstract

In support of a DoD task force developing a strategic plan for the Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program, we surveyed 32 major acquisition programs representing 39 percent of the expected value of defense procurements between FY94 and FY03. We identified procurement costs by manufacturing processes and support activities and also identified manufacturing technologies that are required for the production of these systems. Based on these observation, we recommend strategies for the future focus of ManTech investments.
