Project Announcement: Advanced Braking and Suspension Systems to Improve Reliability and Reduce Maintenance – Phase V

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multi-phase CTMA initiative to modify a commercial-off-the-shelf advanced braking and suspension system, which will be integrated onto a legacy military vehicle to demonstrate improved reliability, readiness, and safety and reduce maintenance and sustainment costs. The technology implementation goal for this effort is Tier 3 and will demonstrate continued leverage of two military ground system programs at various stages of the lifecycle as surrogates.

Phase V will leverage lessons learned from previous efforts; its goals are to expand fielded vehicle retrofits installation across the fleet and develop and demonstrate new quality processes for return and repair of defective components across the supply chain. The project team will be asked to develop, pilot, refine, document, and demonstrate the processes to address how best to efficiently retrofit several vehicle variants at the depot level.
