00:01.870 --> 00:04.092
One of the really important things that

00:04.092 --> 00:06.314
we have in the DOD is the Joint Defense

00:06.314 --> 00:08.370
Manufacturing Technology panel , and

00:08.370 --> 00:10.481
this is a capability that's so really

00:10.481 --> 00:12.537
it's , it's run out of the Office of

00:12.537 --> 00:14.759
Secretary of Defense R&E . They kind of

00:14.759 --> 00:16.481
lead us in that effort . One ,

00:16.481 --> 00:18.592
encourage joint planning . How can we

00:18.592 --> 00:20.537
ensure that where there are mutual

00:20.537 --> 00:22.481
areas of interest and technologies

00:22.481 --> 00:24.648
across the services that we're working

00:24.648 --> 00:26.592
together towards the same goal and

00:26.592 --> 00:26.510
capitalizing on the work that each

00:26.510 --> 00:29.180
other is doing . The second major area

00:29.180 --> 00:31.540
that I think that they do is we have uh

00:31.540 --> 00:33.484
sub panels and working groups that

00:33.484 --> 00:36.220
really dive into the essence of the

00:36.220 --> 00:38.109
research , reviewing every single

00:38.109 --> 00:40.276
project with a peer review mentality ,

00:40.276 --> 00:41.998
uh , making sure that they are

00:41.998 --> 00:44.220
providing that critical feedback on the

00:44.220 --> 00:46.720
projects . So really the JDMTP is all

00:46.720 --> 00:49.110
about making things more manufacturable .

00:49.279 --> 00:51.223
In other words , how do we get the

00:51.223 --> 00:53.279
technology down to where it's fairly

00:53.279 --> 00:55.335
easy to manufacture this ? How do we

00:55.335 --> 00:57.168
keep the cost down ? If it's too

00:57.168 --> 00:59.168
expensive to manufacture , we can't

00:59.168 --> 01:01.279
afford to buy many of them . And then

01:01.279 --> 01:01.279
of course we transition it into

01:01.279 --> 01:03.390
production . So those are some of the

01:03.390 --> 01:05.223
key aspects of the Joint Defense

01:05.223 --> 01:07.279
Manufacturing Technology panel , and

01:07.279 --> 01:09.557
it's really all about working together ,

01:09.557 --> 01:11.223
planning together on bringing

01:11.223 --> 01:13.001
capability uh those key defense

01:13.001 --> 01:13.550
technologies .
