The Institute for Manufacturing and Sustainment Technologies (iMAST), established in 1995, coordinates Navy ManTech efforts at The Pennsylvania State University’s Applied Research Laboratory (ARL), one of four U.S. Navy University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs).

The Naval Shipbuilding and Advanced Manufacturing Center develops advanced technologies and deploys them in U.S. industrial facilities to improvement manufacturing process and reduce costs.

Achievements and successes of the Navy ManTech program are numerous and varied.

The directors of the ManTech programs of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Defense Logistics Agency and Missile Defense Agency coordinate their programs through the auspices of the congressionally-chartered Joint Defense Manufacturing Technology Panel (JDMTP) with representation from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Department of Energy, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and industry.

The Office of Naval Research's Electrochemical Materials program is focused on developing a fundamental understanding of charge (electron and ion) storage, transport and transfer mechanisms, and applying that knowledge to inform the development of materials, materials architectures and devices that address Navy and Marine Corps application power and energy needs.

The Manufacturing Focus Area develops technologies that acquisition programs need to make the design, fabrication, construction, repair and sustainment of naval platforms more affordable.

The International Cooperative Engagement Program for Polar Research (ICE-PPR) International Workshop for Sea Ice and Icebergs was held recently at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The workshop attendees focused on three areas: science and technology researchers who study data and create new algorithms or sensors; the centers that produce ice analysis products for mariners; and the operators themselves, personnel from the U.S. and Canadian Navies and Coast Guards who have operated ships in polar regions.

New Investigator, HBCU/MSI, Early Career and Student Opportunities

The Materials Focus Area is materials science and engineering to enhance the performance, affordability, survivability and reliability of the future and legacy Navy and Marine Corps systems and platforms.
