About The Composites Manufacturing Technology Center (CMTC)
The CMTC was established in 2000 as the Navy's Center of Excellence for Composites Manufacturing Technology – one of nine Centers of Excellence (COE) that serve as technology resources to Office of Naval Research (ONR) under the Navy Manufacturing Technology Program (ManTech).
The Centers are focal points for the development of manufacturing processes and equipment in a cooperative environment with industry, academia, and the Navy industrial facilities and laboratories.
The CMTC develops improved manufacturing processes for composites and advanced materials and facilitates technology transfer for the resolution of manufacturing and repair issues identified and prioritized by the Navy's Program Executive Offices (PEO's), other Department of Defense (DoD) services and industry. The developed technologies have application to modern DoD aircraft, surface ships, submarines, land vehicles, and associated weapons and missiles.
