Defense Systems Modernization and Sustainment Initiative

Abstract

The National Center for Remanufacturing and Resource Recovery (NC3R) at RIT has successfully researched and demonstrated technologies that are able to enhance the performance of defense weapons and support systems, while managing total life-cycle costs. The program areas supported by this ONR grant were Asset Health Management, Life-cycle Engineering and Economic Decision Systems, Material Aging, and Modernization through Remanufacturing and Conversion. NC3R efforts included the development of remanufacturing processes for critical aircraft and ground vehicle components, reverse engineering and upgrade for obsolete fire control system components, development of military specification diagnostic and prognostic systems, design data and configuration management for Navy ships, and platform reliability availability and maintainability assessment.
