Ohio hub seeks US suppliers for small drone parts, additive manufacturing eligible
The Youngstown Innovation Hub for Aerospace & Defense in Ohio is looking for US companies that can supply components and manufacturing services for small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS). The initiative is run by the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining (NCDMM) and is aimed in particular at manufacturers based in Ohio. Providers of additive manufacturing processes are eligible in principle, provided they meet the required quality and certification standards. The call shows that drone supply chains in the US are looking for local production capacity, and that additive capacity can be part of the offer. The teaser does not name a deadline, budget or volume, so details should be checked with the NCDMM directly.
