Ever wonder how technology requirements are identified
 in DoD maintenance facilities?

Do you think you have a solution to one of their key sustainment needs?

The 2010 CTMA Working Symposium highlights sustainment requirements, ongoing DoD projects addressing some of these needs, and interacting with the leaders in the DoD and industry responsible for improving weapon system sustainment.

This event offers the unique opportunity to network with technology providers while displaying technology to Department of Defense (DoD) personnel.
