NCMS announces the formation of a new collaboration- Navy Maintenance and Repair Partnership Program (NMRPP). Launching in the Pacific Northwest, with Project Managers assigned to NCMS West, in Bremerton, WA., NMRPP supports Naval shipyard and other maintenance and repair operations essential to sustain the most critical ships and undersea weapon systems in the Navy and assure maximum availability to warfighters.
NCMS collaborative projects for research, development, evaluation and technology insertion highly leverage combined resources, knowledge and capabilities of participants to yield results and benefits faster and at lower cost than typical individual efforts. NMRPP has been developed by NCMS to demonstrate, through selected technology deployments involving the Navy Maintenance and Logistics Community, that a wide range of commercial manufacturing technologies and best business practices currently unavailable to the Navy can have a substantial impact upon operating and sustainment costs and the readiness of major weapon systems.
Three projects are forming and are currently seeking potential industry and DoD partners: Environmentally Friendly Cutting Solutions, New Technology Metal Deposition Repair for Navy Ship/Submarine Components, and Catapult Alignment Position Measurement Automation.
