Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program Refer to 10 U.S.C. Section 2525(e) The Plan, available on the Internet at http://mantech.iitr.org/pubs/pubs.html	The DoD's Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program develops new and improved manufacturing processes to facilitate more affordable production of DoD weapons systems and components.	The Program is structured around two major thrust areas: Processing and Fabrication activities develop affordable processes for metals, composites, and electronics by improving factory floor and repair and maintenance facility (depots, logistics centers, and shipyards) processes. Advanced Manufacturing Enterprise activities accelerate implementation of world-class industrial practices, advanced design, and information systems that support weapons system development, production, and sustainment.
