Welcome to the RAM XVIII Training Summit! The annual RAM Training Summit allows reliability and maintainability professionals across industry and government to collaborate ideas by combining presentations, tutorials, and training with the elite among the RAM community. The requirement that every task within Army research, engineering and development provide real tangible value to the warfighter has never been more critical. The RAM Training Summit brings together the best of RAM professionals from industry and government to review and discuss new technologies, modeling, testing, and assessment in order to ensure that Army keeps pace with user demands within the current fiscal constraints.
