The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to establish and demonstrate the “digital backbone” capability required to enable smart manufacturing capabilities within a specific DoW facility. The overall goal is to advance and demonstrate an integrated digital capability within the facility that strengthens data continuity, connectivity, and usability across advanced manufacturing operations. This includes establishing the technical foundation needed to improve how manufacturing data is captured, organized, accessed, and applied across materials development, processing, and qualification.
Specific goals include:
- Development of digital data framework
- Enablement of interoperability
- Provision of data visualizations
- Support of sustainment data
- Demonstration of industrial base relevance
