Producibility & Manufacturing Technology

Abstract

The Manufacturing and Producibility/Enabling Technology effort focuses on technology development for future generation interceptors. This project`s goal is to improve the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) by applying producibility tools; to assist in the elimination of manufacturing waste, reducing process variability, and insuring first time quality for Ballistic Missile Defense Element Program Offices and their suppliers. This project is supporting SM3 Block IIB in Seeker, Divert and Attitude Control System development, light weight structures and batteries. MDA assesses and reports transition readiness using Engineering Manufacturing Readiness Levels and exit criteria metrics (i.e., Critical Knowledge Points). Producibility and Manufacturing/Enabling Technology conducts Industrial Capability Assessments (ICAs) across the BMDS Industrial Base to identify production gaps created by material supplier changes, loss of manufacturing base, and movement of US production overseas.
