Since its inception in 1987, CTC has gained experience operating national Centers
of Excellence. That year, we were selected to operate the Navy Metalworking Center
(formerly known as the National Center for Excellence in Metalworking Technology),
and we have subsequently been awarded a number of similar opportunities.
All CTC clients benefit from the up-to-the-minute expertise readily available through
these Centers of Excellence. CTC employs highly qualified experts and engages the
most advanced technology to constantly deliver leading-edge solutions for high-profile
projects.
CTC operates these Centers of Excellence:
Center for Advanced Nuclear Manufacturing (CANM)
Rob Akans, Senior Director, (571) 261-9441,
canm@ctc.com, or visit the Web site at
www.ctc.com/canm.
The future of nuclear energy will see the emergence of next-generation power plants, commonly referred to as Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Advanced Reactors (ARs). It’s projected that hundreds of these SMR/AR systems will be needed by the late 2030s, but a critical gap exists in providing proven applied advanced manufacturing technologies in this emerging field. Concurrent Technologies Corporation operates the Center for Advanced Nuclear Manufacturing (CANM) to solve first-of-a-kind issues, conduct design for manufacturing analysis, and prototype new component designs.
Department of Defense (DoD) Safety Management Center of Excellence (SMCX)
(Formerly the DoD Voluntary Protection Programs Center of Excellence (VPP
CX))
Karen Nelson, Readiness Safety Systems Program Manager, 703-310-5652,
vppcx@ctc.com, or visit the Web site at
smscx.org.
The Department of Defense Safety Management Center of Excellence (SMCX) deploys
world-class safety management systems (SMS) and programs that assist DoD installations
and defense agencies in achieving and maintaining certification and recognition
such as Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Voluntary Protection
Programs Star status. Commanders at Star sites are realizing what they note as "a
decrease in non-availability," thus an increase in readiness and sustainability.
Navy Metalworking Center
(Formerly the National Center for Excellence in Metalworking Technology (NCEMT))
Rob Akans, CTC NMC Program Director, (571) 261-9441,
akansr@ctc.com, or visit the Web site at
www.nmc.ctc.com.
The Navy Metalworking Center was established in 1988 as one of the Centers of Excellence
sponsored by the United States Navy Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program.
Early in its history, the Navy Metalworking Center established its reputation as
one of the nation's premier resources for developing and disseminating affordable,
advanced metalworking technologies.
National Defense Center for Energy and Environment (NDCEE)
(Formerly the National Defense Center for Environmental Excellence)
Gino Spinos, CTC Director of Environmental and Process Engineering, 814-269-2894,
spinosg@ctc.com, or visit the Web site at
www.denix.osd.mil/ndcee/home.
The National Defense Center for Energy and Environment (NDCEE) serves as a national
leadership organization to address high-priority energy, environmental, safety,
and occupational health challenges for the Department of Defense (DoD), other government
organizations, and the industrial community. The NDCEE supports research, demonstration,
and fielding of viable, mission-driven solutions that reduce total ownership costs.
