The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center�s (AFLCMC) Rapid Sustainment Office (RSO) is in search of mature and proven technology solutions, designed to improve and modernize maintenance and logistics operations across the United States Air Force (USAF) with the potential to be fielded across the service. The RSO is conducting market research to identify sources for the following requirements that fall within the RSO Technology Focus Areas (TFA): o Advanced Manufacturing (AM) o Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (AI/ML) o Automation & Robotics (Auto/Robo) o Data & Digital Environments (D&DE) o Rapid & Austere Maintenance Environments (Rapid/Aus) Awareness and potential application of these technologies will allow the RSO to further improve mission readiness, increase global maintenance capabilities in both contested /threatened and peer/friendly environments, and continue to positively impact overall life cycle sustainment costs. The RSO�s Specific areas of interest are: 1. Technologies to assess and diagnose material health across aircraft platforms and associated maintenance and logistics systems, to inform repair decisions and streamline processes while minimizing aircraft and personnel downtime. 2. Technologies to enable agile production and repair of replacement parts. 3. Technologies to enable heightened maintenance operations in various types of environments and support the need for modular, deployable, and self-sustainable systems with minimal material and/or logistics footprint. 4. Technologies to enable instantaneous action or decision making, whether through real-time subject matter expert or technical support; access to needed data such as an organized task knowledge library; enhanced communication modes or avenues between the depot, flightline, base operations shops and all associated personnel; and/or the ability to single-handedly manage all documentation requirements. 5.
