Logistics Research and Development Technology (Log R&D)

Abstract

The central idea of the Focused Logistics Joint Functional Concept “is to build sufficient capacity into the sustainment pipeline, exercise sufficient control over the pipeline from end to end, and provide a high degree of certainty to the supported joint force commander that sustainment, and support will arrive where needed and on time.” The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Research and Development (R&D) program helps achieve this vision by pioneering advanced logistics concepts and business processes that provides the leanest possible infrastructure, the use of the best commercial and government sources, and the application of business practices. The Logistics R&D program develops and demonstrates high risk, high payoff technology that will provide a significantly higher level of support at lower costs, than would be otherwise attainable. The program has a proven track record of implementation and benefits. One example is the Department of Defense (DOD) Electronic MALL (EMALL). DOD EMALL was the first web based, distributed architecture on-line ordering capability. It has been adopted by the Army, Navy and the Department of Homeland Security. DLA’s overall Log R&D program has demonstrated positive net present value and a positive return on investment.
