NCMS and FRCSE seek innovative technologies for national technology competition
NCMS is a 39-year-old organization whose mission is to create opportunities for highly capable companies to work collaboratively with government providers and end users who need industry's innovations and technology solutions. As a member-based nonprofit organization, it has built a vast network of industry, government, and academia partners to help speed the development, demonstration, and transition of innovative technologies efficiently, with less risk and lower cost.
For this year's competition, NCMS has teamed up with a Navy repair facility in Florida, Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRC-SE), to come up with specific focus areas for technology solutions that apply to their current challenges. Entrants are asked to submit technologies that match one of these focus areas.
The review and selection process for entrants will be overseen by top DOD maintenance and sustainment leaders, providing broad visibility to all participants. Three finalists will be selected to give live presentations to a panel of judges and conference attendees at NCMS's annual Partners Meeting June 16-18, 2024, in Jacksonville, FL.
The winner will receive a $100,000 in-kind contribution from NCMS to enable a demonstration project for the Navy. Since FRC-SE is based in Jacksonville, FL, we are expecting a strong presence from leadership and maintenance and sustainment personnel at the meeting.
Entries are due Friday, April 25. For submission requirements and other details, visit: https://ncms.org/ctma-technology-competition.
