Summary
Seeking innovative solutions for Advanced Manufacturing Components and OIB Technology Insertion. The US Army recognizes the need for accelerated modernization of weapon systems through Advanced Manufacturing (AdvM) technologies that directly address issues and challenges in the supply chain to underpin readiness of Army materiel. The US Army also recognizes the need to transition AdvM technology to the Organic Industrial Base (OIB). The goal of this project is to support the design and qualification of aviation and missile AdvM parts through innovative tools, methodologies, qualification frameworks for the modernization and sustainment of Army aviation and missile components and assist with technology insertions at the OIB. The provided engineering and technical services shall span the full lifecycle of AdvM implementation to include candidate assessments, concept development, design maturation, material and process selection, analysis, prototyping, and supporting all testing, qualification, and certification requirements.
