Abstract
AmeriCOM has partnered with the DoD Industrial Base and Sustainment (IBAS) and Monroe Community College (MCC) programs to create a nationwide precision optics technician training capability in key U.S. regions, and an important training model for precision optics manufacturing engineering and technical leadership. IBAS has also selected AmeriCOM to create a new Defense Precision Optics Consortium (DPOC). Advanced materials, process, and equipment technologies developed by DPOC will drive the need for new training. As a result, AmeriCOM will be uniquely positioned to anticipate and support the rapid development and deployment of training as new technologies are developed.
