Innovative Forgings Technologies

 The objectives of the Innovative Forging Technologies (IFT) Program are (1) to structure, execute, and coordinate projects that develop innovative solutions that can reduce the disproportionate number of DLA backorders or unfilled orders for items that contain forgings, and (2) to improve the quality, productivity, technology, and business practices of the forgings industry.  The program seeks to demonstrate readiness improvements by developing and applying innovative methods of designing and manufacturing weapons systems spare parts and components through the use of advanced forging
