Program:

Defense Manufacturing Community Support Program

The University of Alabama in Huntsville is focusing on visibility, workforce training, and adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies in the region, with a focus on military mission enhancement, specifically in aviation, missiles, and ground vehicle systems. The University brings together a partnership with three DoD Manufacturing Institutes (American Makes, Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing, NextFlex and Manufacturing x Digital) and other academia and workforce development organizations to support and grow the capabilities of the defense industrial base in Alabama. Initially, the consortium is operationalizing the newly-created Advanced Manufacturing Innovation and Integration Center, which will provide an environment for hands-on learning, prototype/proof of concept spaces, business incubation, training, technology adoption, workforce development, and more.
