战争史部最大规模的先进制造演示将于 2026 年环太平洋军演中举行

RIMPAC 2026 brings together 35 nations, approximately 40 surface ships, five submarines, more than 140 aircraft and 25,000 personnel operating throughout the Hawaiian Islands.

Throughout the exercise, NPS students, faculty and partners will deploy advanced manufacturing systems aboard ships and at locations across Hawaii to produce replacement parts, support distributed logistics, and evaluate new technologies designed to improve fleet readiness. Rather than demonstrating individual technologies in isolation,CAMRE'sfocus is on operationalizing advanced manufacturing by proving that digital manufacturing networks can rapidly deliver critical capabilities wherever they are needed.

RIMPAC 2026 also marks the first time CAMRE has integrated advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence and unmanned systems into a single operational demonstration. Underpinning much of this effort isFLEETWERX, NPS’ Partnership Intermediary Agreement (PIA), which serves as a bridge between government, academia and industry. By connecting researchers, military organizations and commercial technology developers, FLEETWERX accelerates the transition of emerging capabilities from research and development into operational use while creating opportunities for faculty and student collaboration on real-world defense challenges.

“Rather than focusing on a single manufacturing technology, the demonstration will execute the complete workflow of expeditionary manufacturing, from receiving a digital request and identifying available production capacity to manufacturing through distributed nodes, transporting and delivering parts in support of operational forces,” notes Chris Curran, program manager for CAMRE. “The objective is to demonstrate how advanced manufacturing complements an integrated logistics network in contested environments.”
