#225 'From interested party to full time adopter' – Maj Gen Phil Prosser on the MOD’s interest in AM

Additive Insight

On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, we're joined by Major General Phil Prosser, who has served as a British Army officer and engineer for 33 years. In that time, General Prosser has operated primarily across engineering, logistics and supply chain, with tours in Afghanistan, Iraq and Kosovo, and a deployment to support the National Health Service’s Covid-19 effort in 2020. Through his current role as Director Joint Support in Defence Support, General Prosser is responsible for, among other things, building out supply chain resilience. This is increasingly bringing him into contact with additive manufacturing technology, with General Prosser joining the Additive Insight podcast to discuss the opportunities for AM in defence. Throughout the conversation, we touch on the MOD’s ongoing Project Tampa initiative, the development of digital part inventories, and the use of AM on the front lines.
