Installed systems on the U.S.S. Remembrance an the CINCPACFLT Barges in Honolulu, HI- The installed systems' function is primarily maintenance management, with maintenance and vessel alarms transmitted via MICAD NET to hand held "Blackberry" PDA devices carried by the Port Engineers. MICAD interfaces with engines, generators, navigation equipment, video cameras, and external sensors such as pyrometers and tank level sensors.

Ongoing project for 2009 is the inclusion of MICAD Marine into the U.S. Navy TIPS program - Budgeting has been approved. This program makes mandatory the installation of MICAD Marine on new vessel construction for the surface fleet. Functionality of the systems is full predictive maintenance and RCM. Data entry will be automated in some cases using an heuristic model and semi-automated via bar coding. MICAD will interface with landside servers for purchasing and accounting functions, with operations, engineering, and logistics interface rolled in as the project progresses. Interface onboard with legacy ICAS alarm and monitoring system. Devices integrated include: Engines, Generators, Vibration (Accelerometers), Torque Meters; Turbochargers, and Navigation Equipment.

Ongoing co-operations with NAVSEA FMS division on U.S. supplied vessels for other navies - MICAD Marine is on the short list of products strongly recommended for its maintenance management functions.
Listing of ongoing military projects are:
A. Philippine Navy - Contract to begin late 2008 to add condition-based maintenance systems to the 10 existing 72m Cyclone-class frigates being used by the Philippine Navy and maintained by the U.S. Navy. Bar-coded data entry. Interface with engines and generators.
B. Royal Oman Coast Guard - 17 Predictive maintenance systems on 13m Robertson patrol boats, the system interfaces with engines, generator, water jets, and accelerometers.
