CTMA Project Announcements

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to advance the state of the art in agile software development, collaborative environments, and modeling and simulation tools and processes to update and sustain aviation maintenance commercial and government off the shelf (COTS/GOTS) software applications, so they are more reliable and resilient against cyber threats.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to demonstrate how commercial-off-the-shelf technology can be adapted to public sector workflows to reduce administrative burden, improve production visibility, and support scalable modernization. The industry team will prototype and validate the use of Floor2Plan shipyard operations software at a public shipyard.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to conduct research and planning to define the technical, infrastructure, and safety requirements for a potential forward-deployed, containerized energetics production system that comprises six 20-foot modules.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to advance the state of the art in the qualification and testing of advanced coatings through digital models.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to bolster the advanced manufacturing capacity in the INDOPACOM region. The overall objective is to demonstrate, develop, and improve prototype manufacturing, casting, forging, maintenance, repair, & overhaul capabilities and facilities in the region.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance facility-level energy infrastructure in the INDOPACOM region to establish agile, reliable, affordable, and resilient electrical power to support advanced manufacturing, maintenance, and sustainment operations.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to develop low-cost isotropic and mesophase pitch-derived synthetic graphite and battery anode-based materials.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to introduce advanced technologies into rotorcraft maintenance and sustainment that will improve the efficiency of rotorcraft repair. The overall objective is to establish the specific needs to improve immediate sustainment operations and shape the design of future maintenance infrastructure.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to enhance a specific facility’s maintenance and sustainment capabilities by integrating advanced 3-D additive manufacturing into existing machining infrastructure.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the state of the art in advanced engineering and manufacturing tools and processes to streamline the conversion of aluminum parts from conventional to advanced manufacturing using original technical data packages (TDP)s.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance casting and foundry manufacturing technologies by integrating specific technologies into a modular, scalable digital foundry system that can be set in forward type environments.

The US Department of Defense 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.

The US Department of Defense 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 Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA 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 a multiphase CTMA initiative to demonstrate how advanced concept hardware and associated products for a Composite Rigid-Wall Shelter (CRWS) Type A can integrate with other existing mobile shelter systems and provide performance improvements.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to leverage advanced design testing and manufacturing tools and processes to develop and test new carbon air filters to meet emerging technical specifications and testing standards. Using the M48A1 Filter as a surrogate, this effort will provide a new innovative approach of implementing carbon filter testing processes and design and manufacturing techniques to pass first article test (FAT).
