Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages Research and Support

Abstract

The Industrial Operations Division (SEPD), Systems Engineering and Production Directorate (SEPD), AMCOM has the mission and function of providing microelectronic technology assessments, and producibility and supportability analyses for AMCOM weapon systems. IOD evaluates the impacts of nonavailability of microelectronic parts on the life cycle supportability of the AMCOM weapon systems and evaluates the producibility of AMCOM weapon systems. IOD required engineering support in performing microelectronic technology trend assessments for several AMCOM systems and in assessing the impact of nonavailability on those systems. The Systems Management and Production Laboratory at UAH was tasked to provide this engineering support and analytical capability.
