Summary
This workshop opportunity announcement is issued by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the "Freedom’s Forge 2.0" initiative, scheduled to take place from January 22-24, 2025, in Houston, TX.
The workshop aims to gather researchers, engineers, and subject matter experts to discuss and develop technologies that enable agile and scalable advanced manufacturing capabilities. The application deadline for participants is November 15, 2024, at 4:00 PM ET. DARPA encourages participation from non-traditional performers including small businesses and first-time government contractors.
The workshop is aligned with DARPA's strategic pillar of Freedom’s Forge 2.0, which focuses on enhancing manufacturing processes to be portable, affordable, and responsive. Key objectives include transitioning from rigid manufacturing systems to more flexible ones that can quickly adapt to production demands.
Participants will explore technical challenges related to rapid production capabilities and quality assurance methods without extensive testing. Innovations of interest include:
- Fixtureless metal forming
- Automated tool manufacturing
- Model-based quality control techniques
The desired outcome is a strategy for advancing technology in manufacturing that could inform future DARPA programs.
Participants are expected to engage actively in discussions and collaborate across disciplines such as systems engineering, mechanical engineering, and advanced data analytics. The workshop aims to foster interdisciplinary networking and generate new ideas that could revolutionize defense manufacturing practices.
Applications must be submitted online by the specified deadline, with further details provided to selected participants by December 11, 2024.
