The Maritime Sustainment Technology and Innovation Consortium (MSTIC) has updated the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission about changes in its membership. New members include various companies and institutions like Amaero Advanced Materials and Manufacturing, Inc. and Carnegie Mellon University. These notifications are part of a process to limit the amount antitrust plaintiffs can recover in certain legal circumstances. MSTIC remains open to new members and will continue to report changes as they occur.
Simple Explanation
The Maritime Sustainment Technology and Innovation Consortium added new members like some companies and universities, and they have to tell certain government bodies to make sure they aren't breaking any rules that stop unfair competition.
