The recently established Acquisition Modernization Technology Research program assesses acquisition and procurement processes, uncovers and prioritizes areas that would benefit from IT modernization or advanced technologies, evaluates technical requirements and pursues future research efforts for DLA.

Our objective is to define DLA’s strategic role in DoD’s evolving additive manufacturing ecosystem and enable the DLA business processes to allow integration of AM parts into DLA’s supply chains.

DLA Research & Development's Advanced Microcircuit Emulation program develops continuing technical capability for providing Military Specification (MIL-SPEC)form, fit and function equivalent IC’s to mitigate electronic obsolescence in new and existing weapons systems.

DLA Research & Development's Applied Research & Testing Emerging Technologies (ARTET) program is the agency's resource for testing and development of projects and prototypes.

DLA R&D's Battery Network is a designated Defense Operational Energy Program and is managed under the Defense ManTech Program. BATTNET improves battery logistics and performance by developing and leveraging advanced manufacturing technologies through key industry partnerships.

DLA Research & Development's Defense Logistics Information Research program researches core technologies to improve the quality, security and interoperability of logistics data.

DLA Research & Development's Energy Readiness Program directly supports the DOD class III bulk fuel and energy supply system through a multi-faceted approach to addressing current and future issues connected to the entire spans of the system.

DLA Research & Development's Forging program includes work to develop new and improved forging capabilities in the areas of inspection, design, modeling and manufacturing processes. The implementation of these capabilities will support the forging industry, where the technologies will be tested, implemented, and in turn, benefit the DLA and the DOD.

DLA Research & Development's Logistics Technology Research program supports DLA business functional units through applied research of advanced technologies to improve business processes and operational methods. The LTR program leverages the application of leading-edge logistics “out-of-the box” concepts using business tools driven by disruptive technology to provide global logistics support.

The DLA R&D Metal Casting program includes work in developing new and improved metal casting capabilities in the areas of inspection, materials, processes, modeling, tooling, prototyping, and design. The implementation of these capabilities will support the foundry industry, where the technology will be tested and in turn, benefit the DLA and DOD.
