Supported by C3 AI, the RSO is selected for
Data to Decisions
C3 AI (NYSE:AI), the Enterprise AI application software company,
announced that Lt. Gen Shaun Morris, program executive officer for
the Rapid Sustainability Office (RSO) of the U.S. Air Force has
been named the winner in the 11th annual Constellation SuperNova
Awards in Data for Decisions. The prestigious award recognizes
teams that are building innovative and disruptive programs to
create measurable business value and digital transformation.
The RSO is recognized for its AI predictive analytics solution
to drive business decisions, improve aircraft availability and
achieve significant cost savings across the Air Force.
The RSO is using C3 AI to deploy AI-based predictive maintenance
for all the major commands--Air Mobility Command, Air Combatant
Command, and the Global Strike Command--across 22 aircraft
platforms, including B1-B, KC-135, F-15, C-130, F-16, C-17, B-2A,
B-52, HH-60, C-17, A-10, F-22.
The C3 AI Readiness solution is a platform of choice for the
U.S. Air Force to increase aircraft availability and drive digital
transformation across the enterprise through advanced artificial
intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities. As of
March 2021, the RSO Condition Based Maintenance (CBM+) program has
fielded solutions for 12 aircraft platforms and are onboarding over
9 more, actively monitoring over 3,000 aircraft and with the
potential to save more than $5.5 billion when fully deployed across
the U.S. Air Force fleet. Over 550 maintenance units have been
trained and saved a collective 5,000 hours of troubleshooting time
and handled 250 sensor-based algorithm maintenance alerts to avoid
inflight failures.
Expected results include reducing unscheduled maintenance
downtime, increasing the mission-capable rates to 80%, reducing
sustainment and flying hour costs, and increasing accuracy in
long-range supply forecasting.
“The Constellation SuperNova award is the apogee of public
recognition for advanced AI accomplishments,” said C3 AI CEO,
Thomas M. Siebel. “We want to offer our sincere congratulations to
the United States Air Force, RSO, and the U.S. Department of
Defense for this acknowledgment of their significant AI application
achievements.”
“This recognizes the focused effort by the Air Force to inject
speed back into the acquisition and sustainment enterprise,” said
Gen. John E. Hyten, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
“The Rapid Sustainment Office continues to lead the charge to
innovate and collaborate with industry partners to deliver more
timely solutions for the Joint Force and our nation.”
“Business transformation has evolved from a ‘nice to have’ to a
‘must have’,” said R “Ray” Wang, chairman and founder of
Constellation Research. “The judges had a very difficult time
making their decisions. The U.S. Department of Defense should take
great pride in this accomplishment.”
For this premier business transformation event, 200 AI teams
from around the world submitted their entries to 50 judges
including analysts, influencers, media and industry experts, as
well as public polling.
The winners were announced at the SuperNova Awards gala at
Constellation’s Connected Enterprise. For more information, visit
