DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis supplement contains information concerning the GAO review of the Department of Defense's Manufacturing Technology Program. It is broken down into three parts; one for each service. GAO reviewed 132 programs that have been implemented since 1979, focusing on project goals and achievements and production benefits. Due to the method used for project selections, generalizations of the findings and conclusions could not be made.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor over 50 years, the DoD Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program has been the Department's investment mechanism for staying at the forefront of defense-essential manufacturing capability. This strategic plan is the Department's formal vehicle to unify and guide the ManTech community and support the broader defense manufacturing enterprise in delivering maximum value to the warfighter and the nation. The strategic planning process validated, through stakeholder interviews, ManTech's continued relevance in the coming years and squarely placed ManTech in the critical role of delivering affordability for defense acquisition and sustainment. This plan reinvigorates ManTech's central role within the DoD technology transition process with a renewed emphasis on the ManTech Vision and a formal statement of the ManTech Mission. These are then translated into four Strategic Thrusts and nine Enabling Goals to provide guidance and perspective for the Program.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTo effectively mature and transition DoD manufacturing science and technology advances into production, DoD must have access to a robust and responsive U.S. industrial base which is often driven by advanced manufacturing technologies. The Manufacturing USA institutes are considered crucial and game-changing catalysts that are bringing together innovative ecosystems in various technology and market sectors critical to DoD and the nation. Since 2012, DoD has invested $600 million directly in its Manufacturing USA institutes with the understanding that the initial federal investment included (1) core funding and (2) one-time, start-up funding to establish the institutes within a period of 5 to 7 years. As the institutes now begin to reach year five, DoD is evaluating the effectiveness of the institutes in fulfilling their goals and the best on-going roles for the federal government, including on-going funding options, to ensure optimal benefit to U.S. competitiveness. This report reviews the role of DoD's investment to date in establishing its eight institutes as publicâ€"private partnerships and its engagement with each institute after it has matured beyond the start-up period.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe vision of the Department of Defense (DoD) Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program is to realize a responsive, world-class manufacturing capability to affordably meet the Warfighter needs through the defense system life-cycle. ManTech is a proven contributor to greater affordability throughout the developmental cycle and into weapon operations and support phases. Building on this history, the defense-wide ManTech Program aims to provide the crucial link among technology development, procurement, and sustainment phases by maturing and applying manufacturing technologies that lower production risk and maximize life-cycle performance and affordability. This report is in response to Public Law 109-163 (January 6, 2006), Subtitle D, High-Performance Defense Manufacturing Technology Research and Development (R & D), Sections 241 through 245 to help support the defense manufacturing base. DoD ManTech is unique in its potential reach. The Program invests in manufacturing research and development projects that develop capabilities to solve production challenges in weapons system development and sustainment. The Program positively impacts the defense manufacturing base by its close coordination with a wide range of stakeholders - industry, technology developers, military systems developers, logistics personnel, the sustainment community, and the acquisition work force. This report includes three main sections, as summarized below - FY06 R & D actions taken by the Services and Agencies, implementation of actions within the defense manufacturing base, and recommendations for additional future actions.
