CTC operates several Centers of Excellence for the U.S. Government, including the Navy Metalworking Center (NMC) which was established in 1988 as one of the Centers of Excellence of the Office of Naval Research’s Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) program. NMC is a national resource for the development and transition of advanced metalworking and manufacturing technologies, materials and related processes. NMC works in partnership with government, industry, weapon system prime contractors and Program Offices to develop and apply advanced metalworking and manufacturing technologies, materials and related processes.
NMC drives new technologies from research and development to weapon systems application with two objectives:
• To implement new technologies that will improve weapon system performance
• To develop new production means for weapon system prime contractors and suppliers that lower the production cost of naval and other DoD weapon systems.
NMC has supported the U.S. Navy with affordable new metalworking technologies and capabilities that have responded to increasingly stringent requirements for greater agility, survivability and lethality.
