CTMA Project Announcements

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to conduct and observe corrosion and materials condition assessments during scheduled maintenance periods to evaluate workforce proficiency, maintenance practices, material degradation trends, and system vulnerabilities.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to advance the state-of-the-art in mineral extraction technologies and processes in domestic mining sites. The project would serve as proof-of-concept for scalable, cost-effective critical mineral recovery processes that integrate advanced extraction technologies and hydro-metallurgical processes.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMAinitiative to demonstrate a Foreign Object Debris (FOD) detection and collection system in a production environment. The solution deployed will include multiple technical advancements; to include autonomous electric vehicles, novel command and control, new collection payload and detection radar integrated with command and control.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the state of the art in the advanced manufacturing, SPI and supply chain technologies and processes to demonstrate how reliability methods can help produce better products on schedule, resulting in reduced costs and less need for maintenance.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to identify a validated and repeatable method for running commercial fleet maintenance software in a secure container hosting environment while connecting it to the data that maintenance and sustainment depend on.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to demonstrate additional key technological capabilities required for multi-system interoperability within commercial industry and military applications.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase initiative to advance the state-of-the-art in analysis, facilities modernization, advanced immersive simulations, and communication tools and processes to demonstrate new training solutions that optimize individual and crew performance and training system facilities and simulator availability.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to advance the state of the art in engineering support and planning tools, models, and processes to optimize and demonstrate a fair share sustainment model that enables equitable allocation of sustainment responsibilities among multiple stakeholders.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to advance the state of the art in Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and processes to improve technology integration, maintenance and sustainment activities, and resource and program decision making across various product lifecycles.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance and demonstrate a passive radio frequency identification (pRFID) capability that automates tool and property inventory tracking for a specific facility, thereby creating an actionable system for real-time tool and property accountability.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to demonstrate a digitized system that will optimize resources and throughput to achieve key performance metrics.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to build on the success of the first phase of this initiative, which established a proof-of-concept software solution for optimizing maintenance scheduling, resource allocation, and short/long-term planning.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to demonstrate a repeatable way to plan engine sustainment across contract costs, maintenance demand, and market conditions.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to demonstrate, in an operational maintenance and sustainment environment, that AI-enabled industrial base analysis can identify the parts, suppliers, and production constraints governing readiness for a defined platform group and convert that understanding into sourcing options a sustainment organization can act on.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to demonstrate and advance a portfolio of leap-ahead technologies toward domestic manufacturing and qualification readiness, while establishing shared test infrastructure that benefits the broader industrial base.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to operationalize a government-directed mission capable (MICAP) remediation process that uses modern digital engineering to clear out microelectronics obsolescence backlogs. Instead of relying on the old, expensive “build-test-fix” hardware cycle, this project will use virtual verification & validation (V&V) to get replacement designs right the first time.
