Increased competition and improved lead times are desired by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for the MILSTAR system battery assembly. Mainstream Engineerings unique integration of engineering, manufacturing, quality control, and integrated logistics support (ILS) provides the government with the best value for the proposed NSN.The MILSTAR nickel-metal hydride battery pack lacks sufficient comme ...

The Department of Defense (DoD) has a demand for out-of-production parts to maintain mission readiness of various weapons platforms. Additive manufacturing (AM) is an exciting and promising manufacturing technique that can make out-of-production parts and holds the potential to solve supply chain issues, such as high costs (i.e. for low-volume parts) and sole sourcing risks. The ability of AM to s ...

Universal Technology Corporation (UTC) has teamed with the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI), Stratonics, and Macy Consulting to demonstrate not only the transitionability into commercial systems, but also to develop the data analytics and monitoring and control requirements to extract the full value fromseveral sensors, including the Stratonics ThermaViz, acoustic and profilometry se ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) has rapidly evolved into a valuable technique for making parts which, at times, cannot be fabricated through conventional machining methods.One challenge in the area of AM is the lack of real-time feedback on the fabrication process and the quality of the part being made.This is especially critical given the relatively long periods of time that complex parts can require ...

Marburg virus (MARV) is a filamentous enveloped non-segmented negative sense RNA virus. This viruse is considered to be extremelydangerous with case fatality rates as high as 88-90%. Extensive efforts have gone towards effective vaccines for MARV prevention, however,none have been successfully established as licensed vaccines. Glycoprotein (GP) is the only surface protein of MARV. There are substa ...

This project aims to make Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing a practical tool for supply chain management for the Defense Logistics Agency.The key step is developing process standardization to make LBPF quality vendor independent. This project will seek to demonstrate the use of a promising high speed melt pool monitoring device as a practical means to establish such process sta ...

Made In Space, Inc. (MIS) and Siemens PLM Software propose an integrated Automated Processing. Monitoring, Control and Remediation System (Aul) to provide a process monitoring and control capability. Made In Space, Inc. leads the effort based on integrating Made In Space, Inc., proven inspection sensors systems with a Digital Thread for Additive Manufacturing (DTAM) system, co-developed by Siemens ...
