Possessing the ability to quickly and accurately assess quality and quantities for parts and components from more than one supplier, while meeting specific maintenance or sustainment requirements is an issue that industry has yet to fully overcome.  They also require an enterprise management solution that will continue to support daily business processes while offering an […]

A potentially faulty electronic system in the field can compromise reliability and safety for the public. Electronic maintenance poses an ever-increasing challenge for the technician today because of the limitations of current No Found Fault (NFF) equipment and training.  The reduced size of electronic chips, coupled with increases in their interactions and complexities of equipment, […]

The U.S. Marine Corps seeks outside partners with whom to develop military- and industry-relevant training curricula related to logistics technology and sustainment. These improvements will focus on inculcating industry best practices in supply chain logistics, improving the Marine Corps’ mission readiness and preparation for the future security environment. Those interested in participating in this project […]

The U.S. Army seeks support in adopting point-of-need part production for a redesigned Ground Vehicle Robotics PackBot (GVR-BOT) using Additive Manufacturing (AM). These parts will facilitate the creation of a significantly lighter GVR-BOT to replace the current model, serving as a pilot for future AM-enabled lightweight designs for vehicles and technical systems. Those interested in […]

The U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) is interested in automating the tracking of small arms throughout its armories, thereby eliminating the slow, cumbersome process of manual record-keeping, a potential source of human error. It seeks support in determining the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of a potential system in light of current USMC regulations, policies, and practices. This […]

The U.S. Marine Corps is seeking the support of an external partner to pilot the use of an Augmented Reality (AR) tool (e.g. smart glasses) among maintenance personnel to give them hands-free access to technical publications, schematics, and other references on the shop floor. It is interested in a tool that would allow personnel to […]

The Department of Defense (DoD) seeks support in developing a contracting guide for Additive Manufacturing (AM) as part of a larger strategy of adopting Additive Manufacturing (AM) across the different branches of the military and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Those interested in participating in this project should contact Debbie Lilu at debral@ncms.org by August […]

The U.S. Marine Corps is seeking external support to modernize its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. ERP systems facilitate coordination within and between different units, reducing the time and fiscal cost of logistics. System improvements must integrate with existing Marine Corps data sources and support analytics and reporting of maintenance management data, error estimates, and […]
