From page 148...
... Current technology does not provide economical methocis to rapicily and accurately generate and deliver these data to the production machines The DoD design, testing, and engineering facilities must be able to transfer the manufacturing parameters and procedures in real time from one agile production node to another. In addition, there is no system in existence today that will allow nongovernment-owned facilities to rapicily convert to DoD production in times of national emergency.

From page 149...
... This advanced controller will include sophisticated functionality not generally available today, including in-process monitoring and the abilities to sense and correct for process wear, to calculate a process variable based on multisensor data and calibration tables, and to detect tool breakage and take appropriate action under varying conditions. The first implementation will realize a three-axis milling machine capability.
