The Aging Systems Sustainment and Enabling Technologies (ASSET) program (prior to 2002, this program was known as CATT - Computer Assisted Technology Transfer) was initiated in 1994 to address procurement problems faced by the Department of Defense as it moves into an era marked by longer-lived weapon systems, the downsizing of traditional sources of supply, electronic data interchange, and electronic commerce. The ASSET Program has gone through seven program phases, marked by progressively more ambitious agendas and different coalitions of partners. The  ASSET Program is an established government-academic-business partnership between the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Oklahoma State University Education, Research and Economic Development Foundation (OSU-EREDF),   Inc, Mercer Engineering Research Center (MERC), and Knowledge Base Engineering (KBE). 

Accomplishments of the ASSET project:

    • Simple-to-complex structural parts: 30-97 days vs 141-273 days
    • Metal bearings: 22 weeks vs 52-78 weeks
    Increased DOD supplier base:
    • Over 130 new SMEs and four VE networks
  • Procurement cost-savings:
    • Structural parts: 15-85% Metal Bearings: 54%
    • Ceramic bearing finishing technology: 1 day vs 42-84 days
