The Department of Defense, specifically the United States Air Force, is seeking proposals for the development of an AI/ML Maintenance On-Prem Platform under the SBIR program, with the solicitation number AF242-D013. The initiative aims to create a scalable asset management software that features a dynamic knowledge base for efficient technical data management, enabling guided troubleshooting and maintenance of critical Industrial Plant Equipment (IPE). This capability is crucial for enhancing maintenance efficiency and reducing downtime in industrial facilities, particularly for complex Depot Industrial Plant Equipment. The application period opens on May 15, 2024, and closes on June 12, 2024, with no Phase I awards being made as this is a Direct-to-Phase-II topic. Interested parties can find more information and submit proposals through the official SBIR website.
