There is a national Technology competition that is seeking innovative solutions for maintenance and sustainment operations. The competition is sponsored by the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) and aims to provide the Department of Defense (DOD) with new ways to streamline maintenance operations.
The 2024 Commercial Technologies for Maintenance Activities (CTMA) Technology Competition will highlight innovative technologies that enable more agile, effective, efficient, and affordable methods for maintaining high-value assets, as well as for enabling advancements in logistics and Business processes.
NCMS, a 38-year-old organization, has the mission to create opportunities for highly capable companies to work collaboratively with government providers and end users who need their innovations and technology solutions. The review and selection process for entrants to the technology competition will be overseen by top DOD maintenance leaders, providing broad visibility to all participants.
The technology competition will take place at NCMS’s annual Partners Meeting in Providence, RI. NCMS will make available support funding—$100,000 to the Overall Award winner and $25,000 to the “People’s Choice” Award winner. Both awards can be used to support a future demonstration project within the CTMA Program. The deadline for entries is March 1, 2024.
