CTMA

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to develop a framework for future sustainment after the US divestiture of the M1A1 through continued development of common components, with unique component development being the responsibility of the new users.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to advance the state of the art in automated product systems development, logistics, and sustainment tools and processes and demonstrate an integrated ecosystem that can better design, prototype, qualify, produce, maintain, and sustain manned and unmanned ground systems.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to advance the state of new composite technologies and design processes to improve the functionality and lifecycle of rigid wall shelters and equipment intended for use in the Arctic Circle. This initiative will address key areas of concern for arctic expeditionary hospitals and their need to provide medical care in arctic conditions where temperatures as low as -65°F are encountered.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to develop and validate an adhesive and sealant (A&S) material with the ability to “bond on demand” and/or “de-bond on demand” to enable greater control in the manufacture and repair of A&S joints.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to advance the state of development, qualification and testing of advanced materials and manufacturing processes to improve the performance and lifecycle of structures and parts required for applications in extreme environments.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to understand the interfacial adhesion properties of multiple types of substrates and to formulate A&S products with robust multi-substrate adhesion, ideally without the need for complex surface preparation methods.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to advance large-scale AM processes to replace or supplement the use of large-scale castings and forgings for high importance, low-volume replacement components for a legacy platform.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to demonstrate the capability to produce components using metal injection molding (MIM) technology, including alloy systems and material processes, to yield properties that exceed performance requirements and provide a lower cost alternative.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to identify a surface preparation method and develop coatings for composite substates that will improve adhesion, protection, and durability compared to current commercially available options.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to advance the state-of-the-art in digital engineering and advanced manufacturing tools and processes to redesign, test, and produce a new steering gear box prototype as a replacement to the current version of a legacy vehicle.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to develop a technology that harnesses the power of Compensatory Reserve Measurements (CRM) in conjunction with AI and machine learning to ensure continuous, real-time monitoring of operator health in various settings.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to leverage the power of Generative AI to enhance the efficiency, agility, and resilience of the Defense Logistics Agency's (DLA) supply chain operations.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to add functionality to paint films to give properties that are currently only available in traditional spray-applied coatings, as well as design an alternative to spray-applied coatings for spot repair applications.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to advance the development, availability, and manufacturability of state-of-the-art energy storage solutions to improve supercapacitors and other energy storage performance at a lower weight, size, and cost-point, using domestic sources.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to assess and demonstrate 1) the impact of an agile software solution that supports decision making through data analytics using AI/ML techniques and 2) their effect on modernization, maintenance and sustainment, and readiness of current and future operations.
