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. Using a specific vehicle platform as a surrogate, this fair share model will incorporate measurable factors such as resource consumption, operational dependency, maintenance capacity, and strategic benefit, using analytical methods and fairness principles to enhance transparency, trust, and efficiency in sustainment planning.

Phase IV will institutionalize and optimize the fair share sustainment model matured in Phases I–III by transitioning validated methodologies, engineering tools, and planning processes into sustained operational use. This phase focuses on full-scale application across diverse platforms, programs, and stakeholder environments, establishing the model as a repeatable, decision-support capability embedded within standard sustainment governance and execution frameworks.
