The EWIS project is an example of how NCMS cross industry collaboration can speed the development and commercialization of innovative technology.
The Electrical Wire Integrity System (EWIS) project has resulted in a contract potentially worth over $60 million dollars to NCMS member Eclypse International Corporation of Corona and saved the United States Air Force over $269,000 in the first six months of deployment. This success resulted in EWIS being awarded a 2005 Chief of Staff Team Excellence Award, which honors outstanding team performance to promote systematic process improvement and helps publicize best practices throughout the Air Force.
In 2006 EWIS was recognized with a Defense Manufacturing Excellence Award for outstanding cooperative efforts on technology development between government, industry and academia.
