Defense Systems Modernization and Sustainment Initiative

Abstract

The National Center for Remanufacturing and Resource Recovery (NC3R) at Rochester Institute of Technology 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 (AHM), Life-cycle Engineering and Economic Decision Systems (LEEDS), Material Aging, and Modernization through Remanufacturing and Conversion (MTRAC). NC3R accomplishments included the development of AHM data analysis and prognostic algorithm development for critical ship and ground vehicle components; AHM system deployment on transportation platforms; LEEDS multimodal maintenance application demonstration; reverse engineering and upgrade for aircraft components; and, platform reliability availability and maintainability assessment.
