The Texas Defense Aerospace Manufacturing Community (TDAMC) is funded by the U.S. Department of Defense’s Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation program as part of the Defense Manufacturing Communities (DMC) initiative.

Our mission is to introduce targeted smart manufacturing skills and technologies into the Texas defense aerospace manufacturing ecosystem. This ecosystem includes traditional and non-traditional contractors. We aim to meet current and future U.S. Department of Defense needs, including industrial surge production capability requirements.

TDAMC is led by the SecureAmerica Institute. We connect industry, government, research organizations, and academia to address key challenges within regional coalitions that make up Texas’ defense aerospace manufacturing ecosystem.
