National Center for Excellence in Metalworking Technology (NCEMT) 1997 Annual Report

Abstract

Today, more than ever, the Navy considers risk reduction one of its top priorities when adopting new technology, whether for ships, submarines, aircraft or ordnance. In response, the National Center for Excellence in Metalworking Technology (NCEMT) continues to enhance manufacturing practices that reduce risk in fielding Navy weapons systems. The NCEMT approach tailors existing commercial technology for defense applications. This approach enables the U.S. defense industrial base to incorporate advanced technologies into its manufacturing processes, thus increasing the quality and reliability of components; all of which translate into significant risk reductions for the Navy and DOD. In this annual report I am proud to present some of the NCEMT accomplishments that illustrate the successful achievement of these risk reducing goals. The many success stories showcased in this annual report were made possible in great part by numerous alliances with military and industrial partners.
