DLA needs to quickly find and use extra manufacturing capacity from places like universities and research labs, especially during national emergencies or when demand for military parts suddenly increases. Currently, there is no easy way to know what machines, skills, or production time are available at these facilities, or to securely and quickly bring them into the defense supply chain. This project aims to create a centralized, secure data system that provides real-time visibility into this untapped manufacturing power, allowing DLA to rapidly match available resources to critical defense needs, reducing risk and increasing the agility of the U.S. industrial base.
