The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to demonstrate the benefits of integrating shorter, more frequent, real-time data assessments to enhance Navy training programs, improve topside material conditions, and optimize equipment sustainment outcomes. This integration will be aimed at facilitating real-time ship assessments, identification of corrosion mitigation opportunities, and minimization of schedule risk during depot level repairs.

The industry team will be expected to execute a phased implementation of demonstrations centered on operationalizing the Swarm Method, which employs cross-functional, pre-coordinated industry and government teams that rapidly deploy to a platform during short availability windows. The ultimate goal is a scalable model that improves an organization’s ability to execute repairs, enhances readiness, and provides transferable benefits across the broader industrial base and DOW.

Phase II will expand on the work completed during Phase I and focus on demonstrating a production execution solution centered on integrating corrosion assessments and targeted material upgrades into limited duration maintenance periods.
