CTMA Project Announcements

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the state-of-the-art in analysis, facilities modernization, advanced immersive simulations, and communication tools and processes to demonstrate new training solutions that optimize individual and crew performance and training system facilities and simulator availability.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to speed the development of advanced additive technologies—namely, cold spray coating deposition technology—to enable the strategic goals of timely, affordable repair and restoration of critical assets.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to improve effectiveness of organization-wide programs in reducing the negative impacts of corrosion on fielded equipment and infrastructure. The overall goal is to develop a series of new or improved processes and corresponding metrics that implement and measure the effectiveness of an enterprise-wide Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) program.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to reduce the impacts of counterfeit parts and products on business operations and viability.

The US Department of War 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, and that develop a relevant and immersive training program with a responsive global logistics and support infrastructure.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to create a dynamic modular eDrive prototype that can provide power dense vehicle plug-in support. The overall objective of this effort is to employ an in-hub “wheel hub” modular motor which is directly integrated into the wheels of the vehicle, rather than the typical motor with gears and transmission systems.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multi-phase CTMA initiative to demonstrate a modified commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) advanced braking and suspension system that has proven effective on newer commercial vehicles. The technology will be integrated into a legacy military vehicle to demonstrate improved reliability, readiness, and safety and reduce maintenance and sustainment costs.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to collaboratively develop, demonstrate, and position for transition a scalable data literacy and predictive maintenance capability that measurably strengthens maintenance and sustainment decision-making for both the public and the DOW.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to demonstrate a unified workflow that modernizes preparation of legacy technical data for repair and replacement that supports transition beyond the sponsoring activity. The overall objectives are to demonstrate how AI-enabled tools and structured data processes can:

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to demonstrate the benefits of integrating shorter, more frequent, real-time data assessments to enhance Navy training programs, improve topside material conditions, and optimize equipment sustainment outcomes. This integration will be aimed at facilitating real-time ship assessments, identification of corrosion mitigation opportunities, and minimization of schedule risk during depot level repairs.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on a multi-phase CTMA initiative to create a repeatable end to end process for capturing, off loading, and analyzing Predictive Logistics (PL) data from a specific type of vehicle’s platforms.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to define and demonstrate a scalable model for deploying integrated expertise to solve critical industrial challenges, enhancing readiness for the Navy while creating a transferable framework for the commercial sector. A key focus will be demonstrating how optimized concurrent maintenance processes can preserve operational readiness while establishing a comprehensive knowledge transfer framework to maintain critical system expertise through high personnel turnover.

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.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the technology and operational capabilities of Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) to enhance public safety during maritime operations while extending asset longevity through maintenance avoidance and reducing lifecycle costs.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the state of the art in advanced tools and processes to implement a scalable, risk-informed manufacturing ecosystem for transparent armor that integrates advanced materials processing, manufacturing controls, and life-cycle sustainment planning from the outset.

The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the state of the art in a modular, sustainment-driven upgrade and integration framework that enables the rapid insertion, replacement, and upgrade of advanced vehicle technologies without disrupting operations, maintenance or lifecycle support.
