Community Details

40. Community Need The United States faces an exceptional challenge to ramp up current and future production of defense articles for a potential Great Power Conflict, while simultaneously facing a dramatic decline in the number of industrial firms (particularly small businesses serving as lower-tier suppliers) providing critical production capacity for the defense manufacturing sector. The Defense Manufacturing Reserve Accelerator Program (DMRAP) aims to address this glaring and growing need through an innovative approach to engage, train, mentor, and qualify commercial industrial businesses to support defense reserve/surge production. The Dayton ecosystem is ideally suited to serve this role, to the benefit of the Department of the Air Force development and sustainment communities, as well as Ohio small to medium manufacturers.

41. Previous Funding: Has the requesting organization received Congressionally earmarked funding in the past? If so, please provide a brief project description, year funded, amount, and Congressional sponsor. Yes, ARCTOS has received funding for the Ohio Smart Manufacturing Digital Thread I ($13M, FY21) and II ($8.7M, FY23, contract pending). Under the current and pending effort, ARCTOS has successfully implemented and seeks to expand scalable workforce training programs with academic partners across the state in the areas of robotics and automation, laser-material processing, and digital thread technologies, with support from multiple Congressional stakeholders across Ohio (spearheaded by Rep. Mike Turner, OH-10), in collaboration with AFRL, AFMC Digital Transformation Office, and the USAF's Air Logistics Complexes through PE 0603680F Manufacturing Technology Program.
