Additive Manufacturing Maintenance Sustainment WG Face to Face

Additive Manufacturing Maintenance & Sustainment WG Face to Face Meeting Do. D Practical Challenges Greg Kilchenstein ODASD (Maintenance) 19 Nov 2015

Do. D Challenge Our Challenge: Integrate and leverage all the relevant perspectives and on-going activities into a cohesive AM strategy and tactics for the M&S community • Work collaboratively across many boundaries • Bring the M&S COI into the AM conversation • Provide a M&S focal point for the many AM stakeholder groups • M&S provide common inputs – “Speak with one voice” • Influence AM investment resource allocations for appropriate M&S COI prioritization • Keep M&S “customer” front and center in the AM revolution

Do. D Maintenance Systems Supported by Do. D Maintenance 35, 135 combat vehicles 884 strategic missiles + 356, 385 tactical vehicles + Communications/electronics equipment + Support equipment + Other systems Maintained by: 237 ships 14, 444 aircraft 629, 000 Do. D personnel Private-sector companies Maintenance cost: $74. 8 billion Sustainment Cost: $200 billion Nearly 30% of Do. D Budget

Current Environment • Unprecedented budget pressures • Continued high OPTEMPO • Geographically dispersed operations • Older weapon systems & parts obsolescence • Very long delays for limited production parts. • Lack of commercial interest in low volume complex fabrication work and significant delays in contracting and workflow. • Organic depots are increasingly making parts to combat these challenges. • Newer weapon systems increasingly complex • Include AM parts • Rapidly evolving industrial base

Digital Thread/AM Challenges • AM part is currently a production lot of one • Lack of standards (materials, process, machine, and quality) • Proliferation of multiple technologies • Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) & Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) • Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) • Stereo Lithography Apparatus (SLA) • Qualification and certification protocols • Lack of comprehensive set of design principles • Lack of manufacturing guidelines • No standard best practices • Workforce focused on traditional processes • Protecting intellectual property rights • Security and safety controls

What We Must Do • Take control – map our future • Crawl, Walk, Run • Benchmark success • Develop the AM workforce – all levels • Enterprise approach to implementation • Advance our digital competency • Develop and adopt AM standards • Standardize qualification and certification • Maximize value of available resources • Partner and collaborate – its imperative!!!

Collaborate to Innovate • Collaborate and Join forces • • • AM for Maintenance Operations (AMMO) Working Group RARE – Rapid Access to Readiness Essential Parts America Makes M&S WG Digital Mfg and Design Innovation Institute (DMDII) Joint Defense Mfg Technology Panel (JDMTP) Standards Working Group @ PSU QUALITY MADE Initiative Digital Engineering Working Groups - OSD(SE) & Navy Showcases and Forums

AMMO WG Overview • The overarching goal of the AMMO WG is to promote the development and adoption of AM capabilities which support Do. D’s maintenance mission – “Sustaining materiel readiness at best cost” • Facilitate the development of OSD guidance regarding AM technology deployment within the Do. D maintenance enterprise • Facilitate the collaborative development and employment of AM technology on a continuing basis • Standardize policy and procedures • Leverage COTS technology • Capitalize on best business practices • http: //ammo. ncms. org/

AMMO WG Objectives for 2016 • Improve the Way We Share Information • Monthly Forums • Win a Proposal – Execute as a Team • Standup & Use AMMO WG Website • Open Area • Working Area (Closed) • Links to other AM Sites • Do. D Level AM Policy/Guidance Development • MIBP / OSD(R&E) / SE • Mil Service Components • GAO Report • Develop Content for DAU Level Courses • Continuous Learning Modules • Integrate into Logistics Acquisition Cycle

Monthly Forum Standard Agenda • Welcome and Overview - Greg Kilchenstein (OSD-MPP) • Old Business (Review actions, meetings, and status’ since last meeting) – Debbie Lilu • 1 -2 Briefs on a Selected AM or Digital Engineering Focus Area – Greg K. Intro Speakers • Service Rotation Briefs – (AMMO Principals) • AM and DE Proposal Opportunities – Debbie Lilu • Success Stories / Current Events / New Business – Debbie Lilu • Wrap Up – Greg Kilchenstein & AMMO Principals

Calendar of AMMO Focus Areas • Brainstorm Possible Monthly Focus Topics • Some Suggestions: • • • Qualification and Certification protocols AM Technology Descriptions Workforce Training Available AM Standards, Standards in Development Protecting Intellectual Property Rights Cybersecurity Issues Knowledge Base Development & Data Access Overview of AM Initiatives Do. D Organically available AM Capabilities Additive Repair Capabilities and Successes AM Partnerships and Partnering Best Practices
