Naval Platform and Systems Operational Availability: Decreased platform availability due to an increasing number of part challenges that PMs are facing.① Challenges include very long Mean Logistics Delay Time for limited
production parts. ② Lack of commercial interest in low volume complex fabrication work and
significant delays in contracting and workflow.③ Increasing pressure on organic manufacturing capability. As an example,
Fleet Readiness Centers (FRCs) produce over 120,000 manufactured items per year.
④ Naval Platform and Systems Total Ownership Cost: High cost for limited production runs to make problem parts; many of those are cast components. This may also include large investments to create special tooling and complex castings.

Operational Challenges
• Common Issues Across all Platforms:•Aging fleets with severe parts supply issues. Examples: Amphibious Assault
Vehicle will be 51 years old at the end of service life & aircraft will have 14,000 hours & designed for 6,000.
•Higher failure rates; new failure modes; exigent parts demand for critical components
•Systems down/deadlined for part obsolescence issues; decreasing vendor supply base
• Increase in components that fail that were never expected to be repaired or replaced
Stakeholders/Mission: Depots and FRCs are increasingly making parts to combat these challenges. FRC/Depot mission includes producing parts to improve maintenance efficiency. They need new technologies to enable the reliable and cost-effective production of low volume parts.

① Early transition of ICME / digital design tools• Push upgrades• Support tooling before parts
② Installation of sensors on AM machines
③ Technical support to part demonstrations

System Boundaries(Assumptions)
• Not addressing:– New AM machines; larger build volumes; faster
• Challenges:– Defining the boundaries of the problems and sticking to it
(mission creep)– Open vs Closed AM architectures– ICME across a variety of AM processes and materials
• Self limiting to (2) processes and (2) threshold material (Al & Ti cast analogs with an option for stainless steel).
– Getting the physics right to inform the design and build at the optimal level of abstraction• Informed by the physics while maintaining computational efficiency,
where required– Integration / interface between ICME products and Closed Loop
Controls– Continuing to develop framework to support later rapid
qualification and certification in acquisition
