Commercial Technologies for Maintenance Activities (CTMA) is a collaboration between the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences, its member companies, and the Department of Defense (DoD).

Under a historic Cooperative Agreement between NCMS and the DoD Office for Maintenance Policy, Programs and Resources, NCMS and its member companies co-sponsor technology development, deployment and validation with DoD organic maintenance activities.

The current focus is the use of manufacturing technologies to reduce the costs associated with maintenance and rebuild of weapons systems as an element of the overall DoD maintenance strategy.

By partnering with NCMS government services members, the organic DoD maintenance activities are able to quickly assess the benefits of new manufacturing technologies in their own facilities, working side-by-side with industry leaders solving manufacturing problems through collaboration.
