Objective Summary

Develop an integrated computational and experimental framework that engineers, qualifies, and specifies advanced metal wire feedstock specifically tailored for wire-fed Directed Energy Deposition (DED). By leveraging Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) and Super Intelligence / Machine Learning (SI/ML), this capability will enable high-confidence, point-of-need manufacturing of structural naval components by resolving the fundamental feedstock-process mismatch that currently limits DED mechanical performance.

The full objective, description, Phase I, II and III requirements and evaluation criteria are in the official topic on DSIP.
