The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to assess the current ship repair acquisition strategy as well as the performance and capacity of the industrial base. An assessment of the industrial base by region, capacity, market trends, drivers of investment, and other factors is required to set the foundation for refinement and improvement of the surface ship repair acquisition strategy and to incentivize the industrial base to satisfy current and future capabilities.

Phase III will build upon the successes of Phase II and:

  • Update modelling of the ship repair industrial base and acquisition strategy to increase granularity and provide insights on key decision points for implementing each of the initiatives at each port.
  • Evaluate the next waves of acquisition strategy initiatives against their potential impact on ship repair providers for each port (i.e., Drydock leasing, Government serving as planner, etc.).
  • Update modelling of the ship repair industrial base and acquisition strategy to incorporate latest shifts in supply and demand dynamics as well as contingent scenario planning (e.g., new entrants, international yards entering domestic ship repair, shifting Fleet needs across East and West Coast)
