Strengthen and scale the defense industrial base by accelerating the delivery of critical hardware and weapons systems on the local, regional, and national level
A Layered Network
for National Strength
The Resilient Manufacturing program is building a layered network of interconnected systems with shared dependencies by aligning federal and regional mission-driven initiatives with the economic goals of private sector companies.
THE VISION
Build the Network
