Description

Mission Mfg Science & Tech

This Project develops and demonstrates manufacturing technologies and processes that enable improvements in producibility and affordability of emerging and enabling components and subsystems of Army ground and air platforms, Soldier systems, weapons systems, air and missile defense systems, and sensors and electronics. Work is performed to advance the state-of-the-art, leveraging automation in manufacturing processing and fabrication techniques for coatings, multifunctional materials, and structural elements for Army-specific applications.

Mission MANTECH INITIATIVES (CA)

Congressional Interest Item funding provided for ManTech Initiatives. This effort will develop the ability to manufacture ballistic protective inserts to defeat armor-piercing rifle projectiles in shapes optimized for coverage of torso and extremities to include female geometry; enhance industrial preparedness to manufacture and process high-tenacity ballistic insert backers; identify various operations at Letterkenny Army Depot (LEAD) and technologies that may reduce acquisition and sustainability costs as well as repair-cycle times of defense weapons systems; project continues development of an advanced manufacturing cell for missile fins and components to improve performance, quality, and throughput; demonstrate production volume of a prototype manufacturing process the critical energetic ingredients in Picatinny Arsenal Explosive (PAX) 3; develop new refractory metal alloys that are highly resistant to heat and wear and tailored casting/molding processes that incorporate optimal mold material, alloying techniques, heat treatment, and machining; and develop and mature robotics and automation systems to increase productivity of parts and increase safety of forges.

Mission End Item Industrial Preparedness Activities

This Program Element (PE) develops, demonstrates, and transitions manufacturing technologies and processes that enable improvements in producibility and affordability of emerging and enabling components and subsystems of Army ground and air platforms, Soldier systems, weapons systems, air and missile defense systems, as well as sensors and electronics. Initiatives within the PE result in cost savings and reduced risk of transitioning military-unique manufacturing processes into production. Project E25 fosters the transfer of new/improved manufacturing technologies to the industrial base, including manufacturing efforts that have potential for high payoff across the spectrum of Army systems. Work in this PE is performed by United States (U.S.) Army laboratories and research centers, U.S. Army Program Executive Offices and Program Management Offices, and U.S. Army depots and arsenals. Project teams are comprised of both Science and Technology (S&T) Subject Matter Experts (SME) and Program of Record (PoR) technical leads to develop the efforts, execute the efforts, and develop the acquisition plans for incorporating the technology into the PoR upon successful evaluation. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.147 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative."

Justification

Accomplishments & Planned Programs (5)

Soldier Systems

ManTech's Soldier Systems efforts focus on integrated Soldier and Squad weapon platforms. These efforts provide manufacturing solutions that enhance integrated Soldier capabilities by means of their equipment, personal sustainment, performance, protection, and communication. Efforts are aligned to programs within PEO Soldier; PEO CS&CSS; JPEO Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (CBRND); and JPEO A&A.

Aviation Systems

ManTech's Aviation Systems efforts focus on supporting the manufacturing and sustainment of Army unmanned and manned aviation platforms that deliver improved maneuverability, range, speed, payload capacity, mission systems, survivability, and reliability. These efforts also support the Army's future long-range assault and vertical lift aircraft, as well as air-launched effects. Efforts are aligned to programs within PEO Aviation.

Ground Systems

ManTech's Ground Systems efforts focus on enabling critical warfighting capabilities for Army land maneuverability and ground system platforms. These efforts support the Army's ability to gain positions of relative advantage, overmatch the enemy, protect Soldiers from harm, and impose a tempo of events and multiple simultaneous dilemmas on the enemy through ground mobility to overwhelm enemy effectiveness. Ground Systems also supports acceleration of innovation cycles for manufacturing technology of ground combat and tactical vehicles to integrate other close-combat capabilities in manned and unmanned teaming, leveraging semi-autonomous and autonomous platforms in conjunction with improved firepower, protection, mobility, and power-generation capabilities. This effort also supports force projection and force protection technologies for close combat. Efforts are aligned to programs within PEO GCS, PEO Combat Support & Combat Service Support (CS&CSS), and JPEO A&A.

Networks and Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence

ManTech's Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I) efforts deliver integrated systems of hardware, software, and infrastructure solutions for challenging operational environments. These efforts prioritize mobility, reliability, ease of use, with a focus on reducing electromagnetic signatures for successful expeditionary deployments and operations in contested spectrums. Key focus areas include robust and resilient communications for spectrum-congested and -contested environments; assured/alternative position, navigation, and timing (A-PNT) supporting formation and fires operations in GPS-denied or -degraded environments; and advanced sensor technologies for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting (ISR&T) to enable effective intelligence collection and fires operations. These efforts directly align with programs within Program Executive Office (PEO) Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors (IEW&S), and PEO Command, Control, Communications, and Network (C3N).

Weapon Systems

ManTech's Weapon Systems efforts focus on current and future comprehensive weapons system platforms, which include munitions and formations that improve range, lethality, mobility, and precision; target acquisition; and force protection capabilities within multi-domain operations. These efforts support long-range precision fires focused on strategic fires, precision-strike missile capabilities, improving the range of tactical artillery, and air and missile defense systems, which include Directed Energy systems and interceptors focused on providing maneuverability for short-range air defense and indirect fire-protection capabilities. Efforts are aligned to programs within PEO Missiles & Space (M&S) and Joint Program Executive Office (JPEO) Armaments & Ammunition (A&A).
