What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Automation Alley, a Michigan-based Industry 4.0 knowledge center, was awarded a Phase I Task Order worth $7.5 million under the Industrial Base Analysis Sustainment program. This contract supports the U.S. Army's efforts to modernize defense supply chain sustainment through secure, distributed additive manufacturing (AM). The initial phase involves designing and validating a secure digital manufacturing environment for streaming manufacturing instructions.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The program addresses challenges in legacy defense components, such as long lead times and supply chain disruptions, by validating a 'streaming manufacturing' model. This effort aims to demonstrate that complex defense components can be produced on demand at distributed locations while maintaining full data security and traceability.
