Research abstract
The objective of this work is to create permanent, auditable, digital records for aviation related manufactured parts and components across their lifecycle. This effort builds on the successful outcomes and Blockchain best practices from SBIR I that have been validated by the US Navy (ref). The main benefit of the proposed approach is for asset traceability of lifecycle events, visibility into the use of NAE assets, along with better utilization of resources. This effort support conforms with National and DoD directives to improve Supply Chain Risk Management (ref), and is consistent with Executive Order (13806) that directs the Secretary of Defense to determine how to maintain and protect the domestic Defense Industrial Base.
