Description
ODASD/MP&P established the Commercial Technologies for Maintenance Activities (CTMA) program for the research, development, and deployment of technologies to support weapon system and component sustainment, maintenance, obsolescence management, and other relevant technologies that ultimately support the warfighter and weapon system performance for the DoD. A primary mission area within the CTMA program is to provide technology development and insertion in support of the reliability and sustainment of ships, submarines, aircraft, land vehicles, non-traditional weapons systems and warfighter support systems.A primary mission area within the CTMA program is to provide technology development and insertion in support of the reliability and sustainment of ships, submarines, aircraft, land vehicles, non-traditional weapons systems and warfighter support systems. The purpose of this BAA for the Defense Sustainment Technology Research, Development, and Deployment Program is to provide a mechanism for the CTMA program to provide research, development, and deployment to improve a broad range of DoD sustainment and warfighter support operations. The primary goal of this BAA is to leverage commercial developments for application to DoD issues to reduce costs, improve system/platform operational availabilities, increase weapon system reliability, improve logistical support efficiency and effectiveness, improve environmental compliance and increase sustainment personnel safety.A key goal within the Defense Sustainment Technology Research, Development, and Deployment Program is the establishment of a robust collaborative environment with private industry participants to perform DoD-relevant research, development, and deployment. To accomplish these objectives, ODASD/MP&P is seeking a recipient with broad, cross-industry experience and private industry experience in industrial, manufacturing, and advanced maintenance and manufacturing performance technologies. This recipient will develop and manage collaborative project teams from private industry, research organizations, government and academia with the intent of improving processes and technologies used by the DoD for a broad range of sustainment, performance and operational needs. The recipient sought for this BAA will provide leadership to improve technology innovations in a broad variety DoD needs for research, development, and deployment of technology.
