Advanced Manufacturing technologies are already changing the way the Navy and its industry partners deliver ship constructions and repairs – transforming part production and procurement by using cutting-edge technologies, innovative processes, and data-driven methods. Learn more about how the Maritime Industrial Base Program is tackling the hard work of qualifying new technologies and processes – everything from additive manufacturing to automation, and digital environments to data processing – so they can be adopted at scale in the industrial base.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify U.S. Navy priorities for the application of advanced manufacturing technologies and processes, to align industry and academia investments with the Navy's top needs and priorities.
- Understand current successful partnerships between the MIB Program and private companies on advanced manufacturing, such that their company could consider its own partnership and know how to propose that idea.
- Understand the opportunities and limitations of MIB Program funding and support for initiatives with industry, academia, and capital to strengthen and expand the shipbuilding and ship repair industrial base.
