U.S. AIR FORCE PARTNERS WITH SYNAPSEMX TO STREAMLINE FLIGHTLINE MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS

164th Maintenance Group expects to improve coordination and collaboration that increases mission capability rates

Atlanta, GA, 3/22/22– SynapseMX, a “future of work” tech company that helps aircraft maintenance teams improve their efficiency and aircraft availability, announced a successful deployment with the U.S. Air Force, its newest client.

As part of this partnership, SynapseMX’s flagship Production Control Platform will help transform how the 164th Maintenance Group (164 MXG) personnel coordinate and collaborate to improve mission capability rates. 164 MXG, part of the 164th Airlift Wing, Tennessee Air National Guard, operates the “World’s Best C-17 Wing” with a focus on integrity and excellence as they regularly deploy worldwide in support of humanitarian missions and combat or combat-support operations.

“We’re very excited to work with the Air Force as a whole, and the 164th Maintenance Group, in particular, to extend our technology from its commercial airline background into the defense space,” says Shane Ballman, Founder and CEO at SynapseMX. “Not only will this solve current Airmen frustrations with flightline communications, but it also provides a bridge to enable sustainment and back shops to utilize workflows, notifications, and AI to improve their efficiencies as well.”

“The partnership between SynapseMX and the 164th Airlift Wing is vital to our future success and will enhance our ability to meet our mission goals with efficiency and timeliness,” says Senior Master Sergeant Rohn Cash, 164 MXG. “Our commitment to ‘Accelerate Change or Lose’ has brought us to this crossroad of need, and the SynapseMX platform will help to make us stronger in the fight than ever before. This technology will help to eliminate communication challenges within maintenance and increase our ability to effectively coordinate maintenance in real-time, imperative to the success of the Air Force as a whole.”

SynapseMX secured a partnership via AFWERX, an Air Force program that emphasizes the culture of innovation within the service, and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), a scientific research organization operated by the Air Force Materiel Command dedicated to leading the discovery, development, and integration of aerospace warfighting technologies, and the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.

AFRL and AFWERX have partnered to streamline the SBIR process to speed up the experience, broaden the pool of potential applicants and decrease bureaucratic overhead.
