Abstract: DoD Program Managers are responsible for developing, acquiring and supporting the weapon systems under their purview, including sustainment and maintenance. Since many of these weapon systems have been in the DoD inventory for decades, new technologies are vital for these systems to stay relevant to their overall mission. This panel will review their overall technology needs with respect to maintaining and upgrading their capabilities, and how the CTMA program is relevant to their issues.
