For the Phase II effort, C3.ai proposes to enhance the C3 Readiness for AircraftTM application by including serial number tracking (SNT) for part inventory and management capabilities (C3 Readiness for Aircraft – Serial Number Tracking). The proposed solution would provide the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Rapid Sustainment Office with a system to track individual parts and identify bad actor parts in order to remove them from circulation. This will result in reduced downtime, decreased unscheduled maintenance, and increased aircraft availability and mission capability (MC) rates. C3 Readiness for Aircraft is a commercially-proven software solution that has demonstrated a potential increase in MC rates of 3.4% to 6.3% for the E-3 Sentry, C-5 Galaxy, and F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft platforms for the USAF. The C3 Readiness for Aircraft – SNT application can be used for any Defense and non-Defense fixed and rotary wing aircraft platforms. C3.ai is a leading enterprise AI software provider for accelerating digital transformation. The comprehensive and proven C3 AI SuiteTM uses a model-driven abstraction layer to enable organizations to develop, deploy, and operate enterprise scale AI applications such as C3 Readiness for Aircraft for Serial Number Tracking, at 40x to 100x faster than alternative approaches.
