Book Description
The U.S. defense industrial base is deteriorating. Long lead times to procure weapon systems, high costs, uncertain quality, and dependence on procurement of electronic components from other countries are symptoms of a decline in the capability of the U.S. defense industrial base. A primary cause of this decline is the failure of the Department of Defense (DOD) and its contractors in the U.S. defense industry to invest sufficiently in manufacturing technology. The lack of investment reflects DOD's history of concentrating its resources and attention on product technology rather than process technology. As we described in our initial report, The Role of the Department of Defense in Supporting Manufacturing Technology Development, existing procurement policies and regulations do not provide sufficient investment incentives to contractors. Therefore, direct funding for some manufacturing technology development will have to be provided by DOD.

Book Description
The Secretary of Defense established the Defense Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program to develop and apply advanced manufacturing technologies to reduce the total cost and improve the manufacturing quality of weapon systems. By maturing and validating emerging manufacturing technology and transferring it to the factory floor, the program bridges the gap between technology invention and industrial application. The program has existed in various forms since the 1950s and was funded at about $200 million in fiscal year 2001. The Department of Defense (DOD), Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Science and Technology), provides guidance and oversight to the Army, Navy, Air Force and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), but each establishes its own policies and procedures for operating the program and determines which technologies to develop for its weapon systems and other programs. Users of the ManTech Program include program and project managers for defense weapon systems, system commands, depots, air logistics centers, and shipyards.

Book Description
For 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.

Book Description
For over fifty years, the DoD Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program has been the Department's Investment mechanism for staying at the forefront of defense-essential manufacturing capability. In the 20th century, when the threat was highly predictable and the U.S. defense industrial base was largely self contained, ManTech helped keep the nation positioned to produce the best military systems in the world. In the 21st century, DoD faces new threats, the industrial base is globally networked, and the definition of "best" must increasingly consider affordability. These are the new demands placed on defense manufacturing, and they are shaping the future role of ManTech. This book examines the ManTech strategy for keeping DoD positioned to enhance and use 21st century manufacturing capabilities to address the growing challenges of weapon system affordability and timely delivery to the warfighter, and for enhancing U.S. global manufacturing competitiveness.

Book Description
The 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.

Book Description
This 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.
