American Data Solutions Showcased F-16 Digital Transformation by Inducting SGML Source Data into MDDV, A Class-6 IETM

American Data Solutions successfully completed the AFWERX SBIR Phase II contract, proving the effective use of F-16 SGML OEM source data inducted into MDDV without the expensive and time-consuming conversion to S1000D, while providing all of the same capabilities.
Smyrna, Georgia, January 6, 2025 – American Data Solutions announces it has completed a US Air Force AFWERX SBIR Phase II contract, proving the successful induction of F-16 SGML source data into the MDDV IETM, without the expensive and time-consuming conversion to S1000D while still providing the same capabilities. This addresses one of the most pressing data management challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF).
The Air Force Research Laboratory and AFWERX partnered to streamline the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) process by accelerating the small business experience through faster proposal to award timelines, changing the pool of potential applicants by expanding opportunities to small business and eliminating bureaucratic overhead by continually implementing process improvement changes in contract execution.
“This program demonstrated how MDDV can enable any military program, with SGML source data, to fully utilize the capabilities of the MDDV IETM without an expensive and time-consuming conversion to S1000D. Our Class-6 IETM (MDDV) contributes significantly to reducing downtime, increasing aircraft availability, and ensuring the continued excellence of the F-16 fleet”
