Joint Technology Exchange Group (JTEG) & Cold Spray Repair Greg Kilchenstein Director, Enterprise Maintenance Technology OSD Maintenance Policy & Programs 19 June 2014

2  13% of DOD budget is spent on maintenance  Large portion is spent on replacement of damaged parts  Budgets are shrinking in the future  Need fundamental change in the way we do maintenance  Joint Requirements  Seek step improvements in reducing costs Scope of DoD Maintenance DoD spending (Total = $587 billion)

3 JTEG Objectives –Sharing of Maintenance Technology Information Create a community-wide consciousness on Maintenance technology –Collaboration within DoD and Industry Work together to develop and transition Maintenance technology –Leverage each others’ capabilities/resources Coalesce around common requirements Distribute the workload

4 JTEG Communication Venues –Monthly JTEG Community Focused Technology Forums Creating strategic partnerships –Service programs and newsletters –Maintenance / Logistics Conferences such as the CTMA Partners Meeting & CSAT Meeting –JTEG Website –CTMA Venues – CTMA Connector –JGDM Briefings Submit a Project Idea

5 Purpose: To leverage the assembled experience and knowledge to brainstorm ideas and develop working plans to accomplish each workgroup’s objectives. Body of Knowledge: Develop a plan of action and timeline to establish a database where information and data on new and existing cold spray repair technology developments can be organized, posted, and accessed. Process Qualification, Certification, Specifications, and Standards: This group will discuss what currently exists, and what gaps need to be addressed. Cold Spray Equipment: Identify cold spray system performance criteria and the different cold spray systems in use and their respective capabilities. Work Groups
