HANOVER, MD, Jan 14, 2026 – Phillips Federal1 has secured a U.S. Army contract to deliver hybrid manufacturing systems through its Hybrid division. The systems will support the Army’s Metal Working Machine Shop Set (MWMSS) Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) modification program, expanding expeditionary and sustainment manufacturing capabilities.
Under a five-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) issued a delivery order supporting Army additive manufacturing programs. The contract enables procurement of WAAM hardware, software, and system integration on Haas CNC vertical machining centers.
Phillips Federal will deliver containerized Wire Arc Hybrid Manufacturing (WAHM) units that combine WAAM and CNC machining in one deployable solution. Each system uses a Fronius iWave 400i welder to support manufacturing for field and depot environments.
“I’ve been personally involved with the MWMSS program since its inception, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to see how these systems have evolved from concept to fielded capability,” said Tim McClanahan, president, Phillips Federal. “What began as a focused effort to extend expeditionary metalworking has naturally matured into a far more capable hybrid manufacturing solution. The integration of Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing with CNC machining in a containerized format delivers more capability to the warfighter than ever before by enabling faster repair, increased self-sufficiency, and true manufacturing at the point of need. This award reflects years of collaboration with the Army and our partners to turn operational requirements into real, deployable capability.”
