Funding for MachAlts have been terminated. All new systems ae being delivered with these mods.
Problem:
The reliability of the shipboard dishwashers is the #4 ranked fleet problem since 1995. Various parts corrode and fail repeatedly due to the machine design, high temperature and caustic materials present.

Solution:
Perform a systematic analysis of the various problems, more than 20 at present. Develop changes that can be performed as MachAlts based on cost-effectiveness indices and available funding.

Fleet Impact:
This concerted, systematic effort will result in a significantly more reliable and maintainable shipboard dishwasher.There would be fewer instances of eating off of disposable plates with associated quality-of-life improvement.It would reduce maintenance, waste disposal and odor problems.

Applications:
All classes of ships.
