SynapseMX Awarded $1.93 Million Contract by U.S. Air Force’s Rapid Sustainment Office to Revolutionize Aircraft Maintenance Quality Assurance


ATLANTA, Oct. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SynapseMX, Inc., a leading innovator in aircraft and aerospace maintenance technology, is proud to announce its award of a $1.93 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract from the United States Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Rapid Sustainment Office (AFLCMC/RO). Over the next year, this strategic partnership aims to overhaul the legacy system for planning, conducting, and reporting on aircraft maintenance Quality Assurance (QA) inspections, ensuring enhanced readiness across the Air National Guard (NGB/A4M).

Pioneering the Future of Aircraft Maintenance

SynapseMX and the U.S. Air Force share a common mission: to drive more visibility, efficiency, and actionable intelligence into aircraft maintenance operations. Since 2015, SynapseMX has been at the cutting edge of transforming how maintenance teams coordinate and collaborate for managing aircraft maintenance.

SynapseMX’s flagship Production Control Platform simplifies communication and task execution between various maintenance teams, leadership, and maintenance operational control (MOC) workgroups. Key features include workforce management, automated workflows, and data-driven insights to optimize operations, allowing seamless collaboration and faster decision-making in real-time for busy teams – both on the move and in the office.

SynapseMX has since evolved its technology to meet the demands of national defense, creating live dashboards that can show the real-time position of aircraft on the ramp, with critical details such as aircraft availability, configuration, consumables, and more being available for authorized personnel anywhere in the world.

Collaboration for Next-Generation Solutions

Through this SBIR Phase II partnership, SynapseMX is creating a quality assurance module that enables QA teams to easily create and manage inspection programs tailored to auditing maintenance execution. This new QA functionality will allow teams to define inspection criteria, schedule/perform audits, and monitor real-time compliance. Automating audit workflows and generating reports will streamline the entire inspection process – offering actionable insights to continuously improve maintenance performance and accountability.

Working closely with the Air National Guard at Joint Base Andrews, this contract will deliver a QA system that empowers teams to focus on what matters most—the mission and aircraft—without being weighed down by outdated and manual processes.

“Our partnership with the Air National Guard and the U.S. Air Force has been nothing short of incredible,” said Shane Ballman, CEO of SynapseMX. “Over the past four years, we’ve had the privilege to work hand-in-hand with the men and women who keep our nation’s aircraft ready and mission-capable, often in the face of challenging conditions. With this Phase II award, we’re able to deliver a cutting-edge QA system that frees them from the productivity drain of manual processes.”

“The Enhanced Quality Assurance Database program has been a customer-driven project since its inception. NGB/A4MM has been looking for a way to modernize the Maintenance Quality Assurance program for several years and has found a fantastic partner with SynapseMX to make their vision a reality,” said CMSgt T. Powell Crider, Senior Enlisted Advisor, Digital Ecosystem Team (DET), RSO.

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Rapid Sustainment Office (RSO) accelerates the delivery of critical operational solutions by harnessing the power of advanced and emerging technologies. From Artificial Intelligence to Augmented Reality and from Automation to Advanced Manufacturing, the RSO focuses on creating scalable, innovative solutions that transform sustainment operations.

Toyota To Invest $500 Million in Joby Aviation


  • Investment to be made in two equal tranches, with the first targeted to close later this year and the second in 2025
  • Funds will support certification and commercial production of Joby’s electric air taxi
  • Investment terms to include plans to establish a manufacturing alliance for the first phase of commercialization
  • Will bring total investment from Toyota Motor Corporation in Joby to $894 million

TOYOTA CITY, Japan, and SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Oct. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota; NYSE: TM) and Joby Aviation, Inc. (Joby; NYSE:JOBY), a company developing electric air taxis for commercial passenger service, today announced that Toyota will invest an additional $500 million to support the certification and commercial production of Joby’s electric air taxi, with the aim of realizing the two companies’ shared vision of air mobility.

Toyota Motor Corporation Operating Officer Tetsuo “Ted” Ogawa and Joby Aviation's founder and CEO, JoeBen Bevirt, strengthen their relationship with Toyota’s announced $500M investment in Joby, marked by a formal signing ceremony at Toyota’s North American regional headquarters in Plano, Texas.
Toyota Motor Corporation Operating Officer Tetsuo “Ted” Ogawa and Joby Aviation’s founder and CEO, JoeBen Bevirt, strengthen their relationship with Toyota’s announced $500M investment in Joby, marked by a formal signing ceremony at Toyota’s North American regional headquarters in Plano, Texas.

The investment, which will be made in two equal tranches, is subject to standard regulatory approvals and certain other conditions, finalization of collaborative and commercial agreements and, with respect to the second tranche, the finalization of terms related to a strategic alliance focused on commercial manufacturing and certain other conditions. The investment, which will bring Toyota Motor Corporation’s total investment in Joby to $894 million, will be made in the form of cash for common stock, with the first tranche targeted to close later this year and the second in 2025. Further details of the investment are available via the companies’ regulatory filings with the SEC.

“Today’s investment builds on nearly seven years of collaboration between our companies,” said JoeBen Bevirt, founder and CEO, Joby Aviation. “The knowledge and support shared by Toyota have been instrumental in Joby’s success and we look forward to deepening our relationship as we deliver on our shared vision for the future of air travel.”

Joby continues to make important progress towards commercialization, recently rolling its third aircraft off its pilot production line in Marina, California, and breaking ground on an expanded facility in California that will more than double the Company’s manufacturing footprint. In August 2024, it confirmed that the fourth of five stages of the type certification process is now more than one-third complete on the Joby side. 

“With this additional investment, we are excited to see Joby certify their aircraft and shift to commercial production,” said Tetsuo “Ted” Ogawa, who signed the agreement as the Operating Officer on behalf of Toyota Motor Corporation. “We share Joby’s view that sustainable flight will be central to alleviating today’s persistent mobility challenges.”

Toyota’s additional investment reflects the continued aim of Toyota Motor Corporation’s founding family, starting with Kiichiro Toyoda down to present-day Chairman Akio Toyoda, to realize the dream of air mobility for personal or daily travel as part of its transformation into a mobility company. 

Since 2019, in addition to monetary investments, Toyota has been investing time and human resources to share its knowledge of the Toyota Production System via process planning, manufacturing method development, and tooling design. Toyota engineers now work side-by-side with the Joby team in California, and, in 2023, the two companies signed a long-term agreement for Toyota to supply key powertrain and actuation components for the production of Joby’s aircraft.

Toyota’s relationship with Joby began through an initial investment made by Toyota Ventures, the early-stage venture capital arm of Toyota that explores and identifies disruptive technologies and companies for investment opportunities and provides support for portfolio companies. Toyota Motor Corporation subsequently completed investments totaling $394 million. 

The shares to be sold in the investment have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), or any state or other applicable jurisdiction’s securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state or other jurisdictions’ securities laws. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.

Photos of the signing ceremony and related video content, including interviews with JoeBen Bevirt and Tetsuo “Ted” Ogawa are available at this link.

FT.

Three expressions of Pantalones Organic Tequila are now available at bars on ships throughout the fleet including Blanco, Reposado and Añejo, and included in the beverage options available within Princess Plus and Princess Premier packages.

And for those who can’t quite make it to the nearest bar or lounge, a mobile Pantalones Organic Margarita Cart will stroll the decks serving up unique offerings and kitschy-named cocktails. Guests can even use Princess’ exclusive OceanNow service delivery to summon the Pantalones Organic Margarita Cart to their location for a completely personalized mixing experience anywhere on the ship.

“Matthew and Camila personify the timeless “Love Boat” story, first meeting over margaritas and igniting a life partnership of romance, fun, family and experiences,” said John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises. “Their attitude, energy and passion for delivering a story-based spirit with a light-hearted approach to enjoying life pairs perfectly with our onboard vibe of relaxation, adventure, love and world-class dining, drinks and entertainment.”
