Prioritizing Initiative to Increase Aircraft
Availability and Drive Transformation Across the Air Force
C3 AI, a leading enterprise AI software provider, today
announced the expansion of its agreement with the United States Air
Force (USAF) Rapid Sustainment Office (RSO). The agreement expands
the deployment of the C3 AI® Suite and C3 AI Readiness to support
predictive analytics and aircraft maintenance across the Air Force,
as well as enhance RSO’s overall AI and machine learning
capabilities.
C3 AI is now a platform of choice for the USAF to increase
aircraft availability and drive digital transformation across the
enterprise through the advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and
machine learning (ML) capabilities within the C3 AI Suite.
“We’re proud to continue our support of the U.S. military and
the USAF’s goal of expanding technological innovation,” said Ed
Abbo‚ president and CTO of C3 AI. “This solution contributes to the
increase in mission capability for the aircraft fleet and overall
improvements in readiness for the USAF. We look forward to our
ongoing partnership to build products that help protect the U.S.
and its allies on a global scale through improvements in aircraft
readiness.”
Under the extended agreement, RSO will expand the use of C3 AI’s
technology to an additional 20+ USAF aircraft platforms over the
next nine months. C3 AI and RSO began on-boarding aircraft
platforms in May 2021, ahead of full deployment in January
2022.
“C3 AI has delivered on their commitments to RSO in the first
year of our partnership. Their robust and proven platform enables
the rapid deployment and operation of enterprise AI, tailored to
the RSO mission,” said Mr. Nathan Parker, Deputy Program Executive
Officer, United States Air Force RSO. “The C3 AI Suite makes it
possible for us to effectively expand the use of AI and ML
solutions to quickly impact change for the logistics community.
Expanding our partnership helps the RSO drive an enterprise digital
transformation across the United States Air Force.”
C3 AI will provide a tailored workflow for RSO to analyze,
review, and field component remaining life thresholds, as well as
offer a structured process to review and field forecasts. USAF
field users at operating bases can supplement current tools and
processes to target aircraft for scheduled maintenance and
components for predictive removal.
As part of the initial agreement announced in September 2020,
RSO’s Condition-Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+) Program Office has
used the C3 AI Suite and C3 AI Readiness to deploy an AI-based
predictive maintenance application for the USAF to improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of maintenance processes. C3 AI and
the RSO CBM+ Program Office enable applications to forecast
remaining life and proactively remove high-risk components before
failure, reducing the impact of unscheduled maintenance events
resulting from a failure and increasing aircraft availability.
In addition to RSO, C3 AI has been working with the Department
of Defense (DoD) since 2017 to deploy a variety of enterprise
AI-enabled solutions. To date, the USAF has supported four
prototype implementations of the C3 AI Readiness application on
hundreds of aircraft, including the E-3 Sentry, C-5 Galaxy, F-16
Fighting Falcon, and F-35 Lightning II. This latest announcement
represents the next stage in scaling C3 AI’s predictive maintenance
solution across the defense enterprise and solidifies C3 AI as the
strategic AI platform of choice for the USAF.
