The DoD MIIs seek to revitalize the U.S.’s domestic manufacturing capability through domestic public-private partnerships that enhance America’s strategic competitiveness while enabling the military of tomorrow. This is achieved through three primary activities hosted by the institutes:
- Advancing research and development (R&D) to promote American innovation while modernizing our military capabilities
- Growing manufacturing ecosystems to enhance the Nation’s competitiveness
- Furthering education and workforce development to train Americans of all ages and backgrounds for jobs of the future
The ability of the military to respond to an emergency depends on our Nation’s ability to produce needed parts and systems, healthy and secure supply chains, and a skilled U.S. workforce.
LIFT solves the manufacturing equation by connecting materials, processes, systems and talent needed to drive American manufacturing into the future.
LIFT – Leading Innovations For Tomorrow, the institute’s technology program, develops and deploys new advanced materials manufacturing technologies and processes, including lightweighting and multi-material processing in support of our national economy and national defense.
LIFT – Learning Innovations For Tomorrow, the institute’s talent program, delivers a new advanced manufacturing curriculum in its immersive Learning Lab environment and to schools across the nation to address the skills gap in the U.S. workforce, providing workers with the skills, knowledge, and abilities required by new innovative technologies.
