Deployment and Distribution Enterprise Technology
Abstract
Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) lessons learned and daily operations indicate that current distribution and logistics processes remain outdated and are rarely capable of providing required warfighter support in an agile, efficient and economical manner. Designation of United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) as the Distribution Process Owner (DPO) and shift within the Department to transform the distribution and logistics processes, demands the examination and improvement of the entire supply chain. Unpredictable and extended global distribution routes, limited visibility of sustainment requirements, force packaging limitations, lift constraints, anti-access/aerial denial, complex supply chains, as well as non-networked battlefield command and control (C2), planning, and decision support tools impede timely warfighter logistical support. The centralization of distribution and logistics intermodal research and development facilitates the development/fielding of transformational enhancements to validated distribution capability gaps. The USTRANSCOM Research, Development, Test, & Evaluation (RDT&E) program explores and matures promising technologies to enhance support to combatant commanders and other customers of Department of Defense’s (DOD’s) distribution and transportation systems.
