The following is a general list of desirable demonstration project ideas that demonstration projects can support. This list is provided to help companies examine how the TIDE program supports their business needs and does not represent a comprehensive list of possible projects . Flexible or Agile Manufacturing Rate transparent production economic production of complex products at low production rates. Use commercial manufacturing capacity to build defense related products.
Adaptive process controls to enable high first time yields.
Non-contact inspection during manufacturing. Methods to reduce cycle time and non-recurring costs in production processes. Advanced Visualization, Modeling and Simulation Use modeling and simulation to reduce the cost and risk of acquiring defense-related products. Integrated product, tool and manufacturing process development. Computer aided visualization techniques.
