DVIDS – Video – ARMI BioFabUSA

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.

The vision for the ARMI |BioFabUSA Tissue Foundry is to create a tissue manufacturing platform that is scalable, modular, automated and closed and that uses sensors and automation to control critical process parameters and therefore limit variability.
