“AI Connected to Safety, Certification,and Lifecycle Sustainment”

Aircraft airworthiness has traditionally relied on scheduled maintenance, periodic inspections, and reactive repairs, approaches that can limit readiness and increase lifecycle costs. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), coupled with increasing availability of aircraft health and usage data, are enabling a shift toward predictive, condition-based airworthiness. This panel explores how AI can transform sustainment before safety or mission capability is impacted. Leveraging techniques such as machine learning, digital twins, and anomaly detection, AI enables continuous airworthiness assessment across the fleet lifecycle. The discussion will examine How to safely certify and trust AI in safety-critical aviation systems; Data quality, integration, ownership, and accessibility; Translating AI into measurable readiness outcomes; and Using AI when logistics are degraded or denied.

“Leveraging Advanced Manufacturing and Repair for Agile Sustainment”

The Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) Tech Modernization Strategy is driving a significant transformation in sustainment, particularly within the area of Advanced Manufacturing and Repair (AdM&R) Technologies. The primary 5-year goal is to achieve a significant (20%) reduction in lead times for critical parts that are susceptible to obsolescence or long procurement cycles. Execution of this vision is centered on building the capability and capacity of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) & Organic Industrial Base (OIB). Key focus areas include: 1) Standardizing Advanced Manufacturing (AM) processes through Joint Additive-Manufacturing Qualification & Standardization (JAQS) initiative and Joint Additive Manufacturing Acceptability (JAMA); 2) Expanding capacity for AM Technical Data Packages (TDP) in FY26 & FY27; and 3) Enhancing capability to integrate AdM&R part solutions. Over the last decade, the AdvM&R community has completed fundamental research and established specifications for AM processes and AM part production. Now, the DIB is leveraging this maturity to pivot towards supporting the Joint Forces, as outlined in the Joint Force AdvM Initial Capabilities Document (ICD). This evolution will posture AdvM&R technologies to effectively support the Department of War (DOW) Regional Sustainment Framework (RSF) and Air Force Sustainment Center Global Enterprise Network for Universal Sustainment (GENUS) for agile sustainment readiness.
