CTMA Project Announcements

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to rapidly advance integrated photonics technologies and the ecosystem required to viably manufacture them to a level of maturity that can be demonstrated and applied to address communication and operational issues in an RF-denied environment.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to create a prototype portable manufacturing system capable of advanced manufacturing to augment maintenance and sustainment activities in locations where standard supply chains have unacceptably long lead times for delivery.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to demonstrate the technologies and capabilities required to ensure a resilient domestic supply of electrodeposited (ED) copper foil, strengthening national security and reinforcing supply chain resilience.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multi-phase CTMA initiative with an overarching goal of vastly improving legacy processes and facilities in a 3-stage approach starting with a deep understanding of the current processes necessary to bring products to market.

The US Department of Defense 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 Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to advance the state of the art in the advanced manufacturing and supply chain technologies and processes to demonstrate how reliability methods can help produce better products on schedule, within reduced costs, and require less maintenance.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to develop, enhance, evaluate and demonstrate a wide variety of decision-making tools and innovative maintenance and sustainment technologies including an examination and testing of modular and integrated solutions for maintenance and sustainment activities that will contribute to optimized maintenance, repair and overhaul processes.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to continue development and maturing of a comprehensive decision analysis tool to determine the most optimal and cost- effective solution to support a future modernized approach to overhaul a variety of ships.

The US Department of Defense (DOD) and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) are partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to conduct an Industry Collider Day (ICD) exercise to bring together experts from government, industry (large and small businesses) and academia to discuss potential solutions for improving global supply chain performance.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the state of the art in automated processes and tools to optimize Field Sustainment Packages (FSPs) and improve the fielding, maintenance and sustainment of new vehicle systems.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to create and demonstrate analytical tools to assess spare parts for a specific legacy aircraft, identifying where pricing exceeds commercial comparables and where streamlined technical specifications could reduce costs without compromising capabilities.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the state of the art in lean design and modeling, simulation and analysis (MS&A) tools and processes to assess current system design and identify opportunities for alternative designs and insertion of advanced technologies that support improved system performance and manufacturability, and reduce acquisition, maintenance, and sustainment costs over a product’s life cycle.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to assess how AI and ML can be leveraged to develop software solutions that provide situational awareness of operational demand and supply requirements.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the state of additive manufacturing (AM) capabilities and program response to provide a more agile and flexible manufacturing solution for composite parts to eliminates long lead times for various identified parts.

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to create and demonstrate an innovative and integrated training environment for Radar Navigational mission essential training.
