I assumed the DPA $$$ was in a Discretionary Fund run out of the Executive. Apparently not. AFRL is at Wright-Patterson in Dayton. Sherrod Brown (D) OH is serious about jobs. The reason why Ohio keeps electing him. He will not upset the Apple Cart. Can only guess the size of the carve-out for the Advanced OLED displays, no tip-off here. So Wright-Patterson is DPA Central for the AFRL, that's where the White Paper was sent after the announcement. The money is in the NDAA before the Congress. Just have to wait them out .Don't know why the Advanced OLED Microdisplays are last, that's eMagin for ya. This situation required Congressional approval, the other 5 did not. No idea on other funding sources IBAS et a. Byzantine...

The Manufacturing Technology Division of Wright-Patterson’s Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) helps run a key defense manufacturing program, which is housed at Wright-Patt, that allows the federal government to support defense-related manufacturing when domestic capabilities aren’t able to meet national security needs. The program was created under the Defense Production Act (DPA), and supports Ohio jobs and brings investments to the region through contracts awarded to the program. The DPA is overseen by the Senate Banking Committee, on which Brown sits as Ranking Member.

Anticipating a major increase in the need for leading edge industrial base technology projects in the next several years, identified by Pentagon planners, Brown led the effort with Sen. Crapo (R-ID), Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, to increase authorized funding under the DPA from $133 million annually to $250 million annually for the next four years. This authorization will provide an additional $117 million annually over the next four years and will help the DOD address risks to the manufacturing and defense industrial base. This funding will be used for projects across the country and will help support jobs at Wright-Patt.

The bill also authorizes more than $1.39 billion dollars for research and development programs run out of the Air Force Research Lab’s (AFRL) Materials, Human Effectiveness, Propulsion, Sensors and Manufacturing Directorates at Wright-Patt. This funding is critical to addressing emerging threats and strategic challenges that our men and women in uniform face.
