DSIAC collects and publishes articles related to our technical focus areas on the web to share with the DoD community.

OCTOBER IS CYBERSECURITY AWARENESS MONTH

Cybersecurity is crucial to protecting our nation’s information infrastructure. October is dedicated to increasing public awareness of the importance of cybersecurity and its role in preventing and eliminating threats to our communities and U.S. national security systems.

Our sister IAC, the Cybersecurity & Information Systems Information Analysis Center (CSIAC), brings you the most current resources to help maximize knowledge and stay cyber safe.

Better, Faster, Cheaper Metallic Components: NSF’s HAMMER-ERC

The U.S. National Science Foundation’s Hybrid Autonomous Manufacturing, Moving from Evolution to Revolution Engineering Research Center (NSF HAMMER-ERC) is a collaboration between five universities to develop agile manufacturing systems that use new tools and advanced controls instead of large machines for advanced fabrication processes. This presentation will give an overview of the Center and its…

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has made some progress certifying additive manufacturing (AM) parts for airworthiness, but certification has been limited to the lab, with significant engineering and inspections required for each part. Over the last two decades, each branch of the DoD developed their own processes for AM certification, thus fragmenting certification and slowing the widespread acceptance of AM. The Federal Aviation Administration…
