CTMA Project Announcements

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to demonstrate how a structured program management methodology, combined with data-driven decision-support tools and workforce transition resources, can preserve continuity and improve performance of strategic acquisition management for maintenance and sustainment during organizational restructuring.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to establish and demonstrate a repeatable, data-driven process for improving sustainment logistics by enhancing an AI/ML software tool with advanced mathematical algorithms.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the development and demonstration of sphere brake technology. This project will continue the success of Phase I by modifying a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) advanced braking and suspension system, that has already been proven to be effective, on a sample set of newer commercial vehicles.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to help supply chain managers address, through data and documentation, efforts to improve the agility and resilience of the performance-based and strategic acquisition contracting efforts to support maintenance and sustainment activities with a multi-pronged approach.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the state of the art in advanced Metrology and Calibration (METCAL) technologies and processes to optimize complex non-commercial solutions to meet new weapons system/platform availability requirements.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to assess the capability of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) Liquid Metal Printing (LMP) technology that does not require de-binding, sintering, and is powder-free, with the ability to support maintenance and sustainment requirements with reliable, repeatable, and timely repairing of parts.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an 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 speed the development of advanced additive technologies—namely, cold spray coating deposition technology—to enable the strategic goals of timely, affordable repair and restoration of critical assets.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to improve effectiveness of organization-wide programs in reducing the negative impacts of corrosion on fielded equipment and infrastructure. The overall goal is to develop a series of new or improved processes and corresponding metrics that implement and measure the effectiveness of an enterprise-wide Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) program.

The US Department of War 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 US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to establish a repeatable, scalable model for the fleet-wide integration of small, unmanned surface vessels (sUSV) systems that address standardization of maintenance and sustainment procedures, and that develop a relevant and immersive training program with a responsive global logistics and support infrastructure.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to create a dynamic modular eDrive prototype that can provide power dense vehicle plug-in support. The overall objective of this effort is to employ an in-hub “wheel hub” modular motor which is directly integrated into the wheels of the vehicle, rather than the typical motor with gears and transmission systems.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multi-phase CTMA initiative to demonstrate a modified commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) advanced braking and suspension system that has proven effective on newer commercial vehicles. The technology will be integrated into a legacy military vehicle to demonstrate improved reliability, readiness, and safety and reduce maintenance and sustainment costs.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to collaboratively develop, demonstrate, and position for transition a scalable data literacy and predictive maintenance capability that measurably strengthens maintenance and sustainment decision-making for both the public and the DOW.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to demonstrate a unified workflow that modernizes preparation of legacy technical data for repair and replacement that supports transition beyond the sponsoring activity. The overall objectives are to demonstrate how AI-enabled tools and structured data processes can:

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.
