This project will mature manufacturing processes to support the transition of advanced manufacturing components and prototypes to address warfighter needs. With initial emphasis in the bioindustrial manufacturing area, the project will advance the scale up production of molecules of interest. Through the biotechnology Distributed Bioindustrial Manufacturing Program (DBIMP) – formerly known as the Manufacturing Enabled by Modular Bioindustrial & Reusable (MEMBR) assets initiative - the project will establish a network of flexible manufacturing facilities to scale-up promising biotechnology capabilities for integration into DoW missions.

Program detail

Mission & acquisition strategy

The Advanced Manufacturing Components and Prototypes (AMCAP) program is established to validate the build and/or expansion of advanced manufacturing infrastructure and conduct research, develop, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) to facilitate development and transition of promising advanced manufacturing technologies to higher manufacturing readiness levels (MRL) via component and prototype development.
