NCMS is assisting the U.S. Navy is seeking technology that will improve expeditionary depot capabilities. Current depot repairs and overhauls are predominantly performed at fixed locations given specialized tooling, facilities, and staff. The ability to position-forward a depot capability will extend fielding at any location with fabrication, repair/overhaul, and extensive reach-back communications ability will allow […]

NCMS is assisting the U.S. Navy in locating AI technology that will assist in leveraging decades of defect reports and repair procedures to inform more holistic analyses and develop repair methods that could positively affect readiness and reduced costs. Large swaths of data have been compiled and can provide invaluable insights if data entry errors […]

NCMS is assisting the U.S. Navy to locate technology that will assist with locating the material, equipment, and other critical assets. Material tracking and movement consume vast labor efforts. In addition, the lost materials, tooling and equipment detract from readiness efforts. Examples of desired outcomes: Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) effort in place for asset visibility […]

NCMS is assisting the U.S. Navy to locate technology that will assist with synchronizing scalable data platforms for a coordinated approach to scheduling. Inefficient use of resources (labor and material), as well as conflicting scheduling, continue to detract from on-time delivery of platforms back to customers. Warfighters use a unified common operating picture (COP) to […]

NCMS is assisting the U.S. Navy to locate technology that will integrate MBE models to facilitate the rapid transformation of facilities as mission requirements change. As MBE renditions of facilities are developed and maintained, no common repository or site is being considered to holistically manage these files and the associated data. Segmented data will contribute […]

NCMS is assisting the U.S. Navy to locate industry solutions that increase efficiencies in the repair parts supply chain. Locating and delivering repair parts currently consumes hundreds of man-years of effort impacting combat platform maintenance. Existing industry solutions are available to address this gap but have not been implemented to affect sustainment. Desired deliverables are: […]

NCMS is assisting the U.S. Navy in locating cold spray technology appropriate to the unique needs of naval repair situations. Cold spray methods although affecting some dimensional repairs do not currently provide for protective coatings, structural metallic repairs, or for robust portable applications in various settings (e.g., aboard ships or inside ground vehicles’ compartment). Additional […]

NCMS is assisting the U.S. Navy in locating technology that can monitor facility and critical equipment health. Undocumented/unknown facility deficiencies jeopardize worker safety and throughput opportunities. This technology should be able to readily assess natural disasters and other emergencies returning depots back to a fully mission capable status. Integrated facility health monitoring efforts must be […]

NCMS is assisting the U.S. Navy is seeking technology that will assist in using AI to capture work instructions. Low-frequency repairs require extensive engineering and have not efficiently leveraged previous evolutions. Supervised machine learning must be harnessed to enable AI-generated work instructions to reduce engineering costs. Methodology will also counter workforce turnover concerns. Examples of […]
