Integrated Shipboard and Shore-based Maintenance Management Decision Tool Navy SBIR FY2005.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2005.1 Topic No.: N05-051 Topic Title: Integrated Shipboard and Shore-based Maintenance Management Decision Tool Proposal No.: N051-051-0908 Firm: Progeny Systems Corporation 9500 Innovation Drive Manassas, Virginia 20110 Contact: Michael Hertz Phone: (703) 368-6107 Web Site: www.progeny.net Abstract: The central goal of this topic is to develop the ability to quickly and efficiently determine, prioritize, and optimize maintenance efforts across both individual ships and the Fleet as a whole. We propose to develop a web based application toolset that can be deployed within the Non-Tactical Data Processing System (NTDPS) Architecture as part of the Distance Support Initiative. The NTDPS functionality is mature and is being delivered to VIRGINIA and 688 Class Submarines. In constructing the end-to-end architecture, Progeny can leverage the Integrated Shipboard Learning Environment which has a similar network architecture data infratructure and is used for ship-to-shore Knowledge Manangement and could be adapted for th eMaintenance Management Domain. NTDPS is currently evaluating the NTDPS functionality for Surface Combatants via the Distance Support Program, the Q-70 Program and in conjunction with the PEO IWS Open Architecture (OA) initiative. Progeny proposes to develop this toolset in line with the SHIPMAIN goals that allows ship/fleet participation regarding the collection, aggregation/evaluation, and dissemination of maintenance planning data, information, and metrics. Benefits: Optimize maintenance resources, both personnel and financial, and assess the optimum point in time to conduct shipboard and shore-based maintenance activities taking into consideration ship mission profiles and readiness requirements. Additionally, reduced manning ship and the achievement of reduced Operation & Support (O&S) costs would be a direct result of this research as well as the ability to quickly and efficiently determine, prioritize, and optimize maintenance efforts. This technology would have application with Commercial Marine Fleet owners and in commercial shipyards where both construction and maintenance activities must be planned. Return
