Three-dimensional (3D) Technical Data Modernization (TDM) / Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) (R&D LOE 2)
Abstract
FY 2023 Accomplishments: The MUST II program focus has been to integrate the MUST II developed tools into the Digital Model Library (DML) using an Application Program Interface (API) and additional development of the Interim Change Management System (ICMS) tool for capturing and managing Interim Changes (IC) to the technical requirements. The ICMS completed Troop Support internal testing and functional validation. In FY23 MUST II has had successful and continued collaborated with DLA Troop Support Clothing & Textiles, Joint Clothing Textile Modernization Initiative (JCTMI), Military Services Engineering Support Activities, DLA Product Testing Center, and the Industrial Base. DLIR completed the Digital Rights Management (DRM) project which explored whether commercial DRM tools and techniques can improve the security of DLA technical data, and an analysis of Standard for the Exchange of Product Data (STEP) 242 data transfer accuracy – a study to investigate the transferability of 3D technical data within / between CAD platforms using STEP 242 to enable the transportability of digital artifacts across the DoD Services and Vendor Enterprise. Additionally, DLIR continued efforts to build a Digital Sustainment Platform (DSP) which is a robust platform that enables the model-based sustainment enterprise supporting DLA Technical Data Management Transformation (TDMT) efforts, Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM), Advanced Manufacturing, and SMMs. DLIR transitioned to Phase III of the Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS) data cleansing efforts where scripted algorithms and machine learning (ML) will be used to identify, scope, and cleanse data errors in the FLIS. DLIR continued to develop a prototype or remote inspection and product testing for Clothing and Textile goods utilizing augmented reality (AR). Finally, DLIR kicked off a process digital twin project to identify bottlenecks and root causes in the DLA Aviation Order-to-Cash (O2C) process and several Congressional Interest Items (CII) to assist SMMs and workforce development within the DIB. The program executed Congressional add funding to support Strategic Materials and Rare Earth Element related technical projects for: High Performance Magnets, Hypersonic Radomes and Apertures, Nanostructured Iron Nitride Permanent Magnets, Battery Grade Graphite, and received additional direct funding for Isomolded Graphite technology.
