Strengthening America
The Defense Metals Technology Center (DMTC) was formed in January, 2007 in order to establish an industrial base capable of affordably producing such strategic metals. The organization addresses the identified needs of the U.S. Military in the development and manufacture of vital defense materials. Utilizing the combined strengths of the business, metals industry, military and academic sectors, the DMTC is a direct response to the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center's (ARDEC) call for an industrial base that competitively increases the production of defense materials. The DMTC initiative has secured federal and state funding.
