APEX-AIW
Abstract
Allied & Partnered/Expeditionary Asymmetric Industrial Warfare (APEX-AIW) will augment organic Additive/Advanced Manufacturing (AM) capability that resides within our Expeditionary forces, Allies, and Partners with a large-format Foundry Operational Prototype. This project will provide a digital design eco-system for Joint Warfighter and Allies and Partners to manufacture vessels, structures, and parts in theatre. APEX-AIW will exercise the Foundry through a series of builds to demonstrate military utility via the production of useful prototypes in relevant quantities, including Littoral Maneuver Piers, Low-Profile Vessels, Quick Reaction Small USVs, and Allied and Partner replacement parts. This project leverages technology developed under the Manufacturing Autonomous System at Scale (MASS) Innovative Naval Prototype (INP) effort at ONR.
