If this strategic link were provited in the future, the improved manufacturing capability from a strengthened and newly effective ManTech program could: · provide significantly more defense materiel for the same expenditure, · accelerate the completion of new weapon systems by substantially decreasing the cycle times for development and production, · create technologies that enable defense manufacturers to provide more sophisticated performance features in new weapon systems, and reduce the dependence of the U.S. defense industrial base on the availability of certain key components or materiel from other countries.

While a redesigned ManTech program is needed, it cannot be the entirety of DOD's manufacturing policy. A strengthened ManTech program can, however, become the cornerstone of a comprehensive DOD policy to enhance manufacturing capabilities.
