Symposium Project Prioritization Results

After the presentations, symposium attendees were asked to help set project priorities for the coming year. A survey collected the information, and the results are presented below. Each participating company or organization was allotted one vote (regardless of the number of its representatives at the symposium) per project. Project descriptions are available by clicking on the links below.

Projects with the higher number of votes will be given priority for developing new projects for submission to the Pentagon for approval. This potential project list is intended only for use in setting priorities; it does not imply that all projects will be developed. Anyone in addition to the voting entities who desires to be included in the project development should contact Chuck Ryan. Contact information for those expressing interest in each project will be forwarded to the project team. Each team will then follow the CTMA Process for developing and submitting a concept paper. Note that all projects must include cross-service involvement and must meet or exceed the 2:1 industry cost-share requirement.


Symposium Attendee List

The symposium attendee list is available in Excel format. The CTMA public site attendee list includes the name, organization, and address. The CTMA secured, members-only site attendee list also includes the phone number and e-mail address. CTMA members constitute the dues-paying members (including the DoD maintenance facilities) of NCMS Government Services. Email Chuck Ryan to obtain the user-id and password.
