Modest Tree Finalist in USA Competition for Advanced Maintenance Solutions for DoD

Modest Tree has been named a finalist in the 2023 CTMA Technology Competition for Tech Companion. Modest Tree’s Tech Companion technology is a digital solution for maintainers of complex equipment, which brings together digital work cards, created from technical manuals or a company’s procedural instructions; 3D procedural training of the procedures; and augmented-reality enabled remote support.

The Commercial Technologies for Maintenance Activities (CTMA) competition will be held at the CTMA Partners Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana June 6 to 8 2023, where the six finalists’ presentations will be ranked and scored by some of the DOD's most senior maintenance and sustainment leaders.

Tech Companion was developed as an innovative digital solution to connect technicians across the globe and facilitate the collection of core data, including task-level instructions, structured service reporting, and 3D visualizations to support maintenance tasks. Through its development, it was tested with Modest Tree’s partner RENK AG and has been used by the United States Space Force.
