December 18, 2025
The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to develop a repeatable, technology-enabled process for reproducing essential parts for legacy systems with incomplete, outdated, or missing technical documentation. The effort will use reverse engineering processes that integrate high-resolution 3D scanning, CAD reconstruction, engineering analysis, and validated manufacturing workflows to generate full Technical Data Packages (TDPs).
December 5, 2025
The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance maintenance and sustainment practices by developing, testing, and demonstrating a predictive maintenance and sustainment framework designed to unify planning processes across platforms. The overall goal will be to create a standardized, data-driven framework by demonstrating a replicable sustainment model that improves forecasting, reduces sustainment costs, and enhances the operational readiness of aviation weapon systems.
November 11, 2025
The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to reduce the impacts of counterfeit parts and products on business operations and viability. The overall goal is to provide critical infrastructure that enhances prototype experiment and testing requirements focused on counterfeit detection activities.
November 11, 2025
The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to advance the engineering processes and tools needed to safely design, install, operate, and assess prototyping and advanced manufacturing equipment. The goal will be to accommodate the need for disposable or attritable systems in an existing research and development facility.
November 11, 2025
The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to provide research support and actionable recommendations to an Office of Industrial Base Policy, closing critical knowledge gaps and establishing a framework for effective future policy design and implementation.
October 24, 2025

October 23, 2025
The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to enhance small watercrafts research, development, test, evaluation, acquisition, maintenance and repair ecosystem.
October 22, 2025
The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to expand the capacity of the Workshops for Warriors’ Welding Program to enable the training of more welding professionals.
October 22, 2025
The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to advance the state of the art in agile software development, collaborative environments, and modeling and simulation tools and processes to update and sustain aviation maintenance commercial and government off the shelf (COTS/GOTS) software applications, so they are more reliable and resilient against cyber threats.
October 22, 2025
The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to demonstrate how commercial-off-the-shelf technology can be adapted to public sector workflows to reduce administrative burden, improve production visibility, and support scalable modernization. The industry team will prototype and validate the use of Floor2Plan shipyard operations software at a public shipyard.
October 22, 2025
The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to conduct research and planning to define the technical, infrastructure, and safety requirements for a potential forward-deployed, containerized energetics production system that comprises six 20-foot modules.
