Maintenance Focus Technology Panel (JTEG)
Department of Defense (DoD) depot maintenance activities are constantly seeking new and innovative ways to improve their efficiency and effectiveness. The identification and insertion of new technologies is a critical component of achieving successful improvements in maintenance operations. The Services utilize various DoD and Service level technology programs, such as the CTMA program, to demonstrate and transition new technologies. The JTEG, composed of members from all the military Services and OSD, was created to better leverage technology improvements in DoD maintenance through the collaboration of the Services, Joint Staff, OSD, and industry. JTEG serves as a forum for the exchange of information on new technology, processes, and equipment developments and is a strong advocate for new technology with cross-service potential.
The panel will highlight the JTEG objectives and recent activities, while the Service representatives will present key technology insertion actions they are conducting as well as review their overall technology needs with respect to maintaining and upgrading depot maintenance capabilities.

Maintenance Focus Technology Panel (Electronic Maintenance)
The Department of Defense (DoD) experiences a $2 billion annual impact due to removal and replacement of Line Replaceable Units (LRUs)/Weapon Replaceable Assemblies (WRAs) which subsequently test No Fault Found (NFF) during depot testing, and are turned right back around to the field. Visual inspection is ineffective in detecting the intermittent faults (IFs), the root cause of this high NFF rate. Military weapon system verification and validation results indicate three out of four aircraft in a mission-ready status contain electrical interconnect issues.
A modern avionics system has thousands of internal and external circuit paths. These systems are subject to hostile operating environments and will likely fail intermittently long before they fail permanently. Intermittent faults occur randomly in time, place, amplitude and duration. Electromechanical devices go into a long and frustrating period of low-level intermittency as their mechanical tolerances change. Even a single undetected and hence unrepaired circuit in an electronic box may cause random malfunction. It is vital that all intermittent circuits present in these boxes be detected, isolated and repaired. With the proper test equipment, it is now possible to detect and repair these intermittent circuits.
Panel focus areas:
- Needs for wiring and LRU/WRA circuit path testing and variety of approaches and the technologies they are pursuing to meet their requirements.
- Technologies to benefit the maintenance spectrum of electrical and avionics components and wiring across the DoD enterprise.
- Will explore a top level view of NFF requirements, challenges, methodology, and gaps to implement a technology roadmap across the Services to support DoD maintenance and sustainment goals and objectives.

Maintenance Focus Technology Panel (Corrosion)
The Department of Defense (DoD) estimates that corrosion costs the department over $20 billion each year. That represents approximately one quarter of the $80 billion in annual expenses to maintain its ships, aircraft, strategic missiles, and ground combat and tactical vehicles. In another study, it is estimated that 30% of corrosion related costs could be avoided through proper investment in prevention and mitigation of corrosion through design, manufacture and sustainment actions. Corrosion also reduces weapon system availability with preventive and corrective maintenance actions resulting in hundreds of thousands of non-mission capable hours for DoD aircraft alone.
Corrosion is more than just “rust.” Public law (10 USC 2228) defines corrosion as “the deterioration of a material or its properties due to a reaction of that material with its chemical environment.” While this definition includes rusting of steel and classical electrochemical destruction of metal alloys, it also includes environmental degradation of composites, plastics, fabrics, concrete, etc. DoD operates complex systems in severe environments and must be able to efficiently and economically protect them from the effects of corrosion.
This panel, chaired by the OSD Corrosion Office, will focus on corrosion mitigation efforts in each Military Department including a fully interactive discussion of how technology is integrated into OSD and Military Department-level strategies to reduce the impact of corrosion on DoD assets. Further, recent technology successes and new technology needs will be highlighted by panel members.
Moderator:
Richard Hays, OSD Corrosion Policy and Oversight

Maintenance Focus Technology Panel (energy)
Energy has long been a fundamental enabler of military operations. Operation tempo can often be affected by energy as it enables movement, speed, endurance, time on station, and range by joint forces in the air, on land, and at sea.
Currently there are numerous public organizations and private companies that are experiencing significant financial and environmental benefits through the use of alternative fuels in their vehicle fleets. Many countries in Europe, Asia, and Australia have been utilizing alternative fuels for a number of years due to the monetary and environmental benefits of these fuels as compared to traditional fuels such as gasoline and diesel fuel. This in turn has facilitated advancements in alternative fuels technology to the point where alternative fuels are now a more viable option compared to traditional fuels.
This panel will focus on alternative fuels sources and technologies to improve sustainment and the maintenance of different weapons platforms and vehicles. With the current emphasis of DoD energy efforts, identifying alternatives and new technology, there is a unique opportunity to evaluate existing alternative fuels and new technology to find the best options for future evaluation and potential integration into DoD vehicle fleets. We will discuss alternative fuels such as propane and technologies such as Automotive Information Modules (AIM). The reduction in fuels, logistics, finances and the environmental footprint by providing multiple sources of highly accurate data capture with a means to share these data vertically, securely and in real-time will prove very effective.
Please join the panel as we discuss how to diversify and expand energy supplies and resources within the DoD maintenance and sustainment community.

Maintenance Focus Technology Panel (CBM+)
Controlling maintenance costs is a critical for the Defense Department in today’s budget-constrained environment. With no shortage of demand for military resources and a heavily taxed modernization budget, a mere 1% increase in maintenance efficiency could contribute significantly to beefing up science and technology spending or procuring more combat platforms.
One of the most promising avenues for delivering enhanced maintenance performance is in the area of data analytics, specifically in using data collected by sensors on military assets to predict, and hence avoid, costly failures. Today, all branches of the U.S. Military have fielded “Smart” systems. In order to maintain operational fleet readiness, the inspectors and maintainers of “Smart” combat equipment require advanced intelligent tools with “decision making” capabilities. These intelligent tools must be capable of detecting faults and anomalies normally not detected by an inspector or maintainer.
To date, despite a myriad of major Service-sponsored maintenance initiatives focused on improving maintenance automation and readiness for tactical vehicle fleets, aircraft, vessels and combat vehicles, very little has changed regarding the business process associated with maintaining, managing and improving operational readiness of the combat fleet. Typically, the on-going practice of over-maintaining these combat assets occur because maintenance schedules are based on straight calendar time or on hour meters that imprecisely reflect key time and/or seat time, rather than on actual motion time when most wear and tear actually occurs.
This panel of experts will brief issues resulting from the current practice of utilizing Planned Maintenance Systems and discuss the numerous solutions available by implementing technology associated with Condition Based Maintenance (CBM).

The AMMO WG activity is supporting the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) guidance in the following focus areas:
-
- 1) Increase the development and integration of AM
-
- 2) Improve our ability for qualification and certification
-
- 3) Standardize a digital framework
-
- 4) Develop a Department of Navy (DON) digital manufacturing grid
-
- 5) Formalize AM education and training
-
- 6) Sustainment Business Model Wargame Working Group with the adoption of AM capabilities for sustainment.
The digital thread is changing industries around the world. Digital technology is being used to more efficiently identify customer needs, reduce costs, and improve the quality of products and services. The greatest impact in manufacturing can only be realized when design and manufacturing are seamlessly integrated using digital technology. DoD is looking at ways to improve Advanced Manufacturing Interoperability & Digital Data Standards Assessment by conducting a study to examine processes for developing and sharing 3D digital data files to identify best-in-class digital file architectures that support collaboration and interoperability between DoD and commercial industry. The panel will examine data requirements, product lifecycle management suites and interoperability necessary to enable recommendation of one or more standards to achieve enterprise wide advanced manufacturing between industry and DoD.
