Full Description
In line with the Army’s Modernization Strategy, the Army must modernize sustainment practices and capabilities as it delivers the Army of 2030 / develops the Army of 2040. The Army is committed to targeted modernization to assure power projection, maximize geographic flexibility, reduce response times to aid allies and partners, and protect national objectives. For forces in the fight, sustainment determines the depth, breadth, and duration of operations. Therefore, modernization of the sustainment warfighting function is required to ensure freedom of action, extend operational reach, and prolong endurance of Soldiers and units in the field.
To maintain excellence and consistently improve sustainment of deployed forces, the Army seeks to leverage several advancements. Acquisition of commercial sustainment and manufacturing technologies and services will accelerate Army Aviation and Missile Command’s (AMCOM) capabilities to get advanced solutions to the Warfighter while enhancing and optimizing the Headquarters, Field, and Defense Manufacturing Base’s capabilities for today and tomorrow’s missions.
With the focus on both “new capabilities” and “operational constructs” convergent manufacturing technologies will accelerate the OIB’s capability to get advanced solutions to the Warfighter while enhancing and optimizing the Defense Manufacturing Base for today and tomorrow’s missions. Manufacturing excellence is critical for Army technology dominance and force projection to increase the “Speed of Battle.”
