CTMA Project Announcements

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 engaged in shared maintenance and sustainment activities.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the technology and operational capabilities of Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) to enhance public safety during maritime operations while extending asset longevity through maintenance avoidance and reducing lifecycle costs.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the state of the art in advanced tools and processes to implement a scalable, risk-informed manufacturing ecosystem for transparent armor that integrates advanced materials processing, manufacturing controls, and life-cycle sustainment planning from the outset.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the state of the art in a modular, sustainment-driven upgrade and integration framework that enables the rapid insertion, replacement, and upgrade of advanced vehicle technologies without disrupting operations, maintenance or lifecycle support.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to target the introduction of novel advanced manufacturing (AM) capabilities to the commercial sector and DoW, supporting the INDOPACOM mission, regardless of physical location, that can serve as an example to commercial industries on how to improve their advanced manufacturing, maintenance, and sustainment processes.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to on a multiphase CTMA initiative to advance the state of the art in analytical and software development tools and processes, as well as rapid prototyping and testing, to demonstrate how to proactively mitigate obsolescence across three different electronic components.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to initiative to demonstrate how organizations can bridge the gap between workforce development and operational needs.

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 Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an 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 engaged in shared maintenance and sustainment activities.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase initiative to demonstrate how applied Integrated Product Support (IPS) strategies, analytics, and agile support operations can provide effective management solutions for defense and commercial industries.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the state-of-the-art in new environmentally compliant coating processes against existing SAE 2406 hard chrome plating and demonstrate improvements in performance. This effort will validate and demonstrate a unique non-chrome plating solution that is an environmentally compliant replacement for SAE 2406 hard chrome plating.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to evaluate winter tires in the 395/85R20 size to improve winter performance. The overall objective is to manufacture and qualify a winter/all-season tire with improved performance in extreme cold, ice, and snow.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to analyze materiel readiness of ground equipment for a specific unit through the lens of CBM+, modernizing maintenance activities, and ensuring accurate supply and maintenance data can be used in an advanced ERP system to provide a framework for modernizing maintenance operations.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to demonstrate modernized shipyard operations by creating a unified digital ecosystem that standardizes infrastructure, equipment and procedures across facilities. The overall goal is to improve fleet readiness by forecasting maintenance availabilities with greater accuracy, enhancing information flow within shipyards, and maximizing consistency in ship repair and sustainment.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative 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 Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to build out the digital twin methodology for moving a legacy system and its components into the digital world.
