Logistic Support Activities

Abstract

This Project was set up to fund the development of the Air Force Core Automated Maintenance System (CAMS) which is the standard Air Force base-level automated maintenance information management system for managing weapon systems worldwide. The system supports aircraft, communications-electronics, and support equipment maintenance activities at worldwide operating bases, Air National Guard/AF Reserve sites, and selected North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) locations. CAMS provides on-line remote terminals connected to the Standard Base-Level Computer (SBLC) system throughout the maintenance complexes. CAMS automates aircraft history, aircraft scheduling, aircrew debriefing processes, and provides a common interface for entering base-level maintenance data into other logistics management systems. That development was completed in FY2003. The FY 2007 funds are for a Congressional add for the Reliability and Maintainability Information System (REMIS) and Omnibus add for Cargo Movement Operations System (CMOS). REMIS provides a single, primary Air Force data system for collecting and processing equipment maintenance data which is used to provide information on reliability and maintainability, trend analysis, failure prediction and weapon system availability. REMIS funds are being used to support the migration/modernization of REMIS to Global Combat Support System - Air Force. CMOS is a joint-use system that integrates computer hardware, software, and communications to effectively plan, document and manage outbound and inbound cargo and passengers; and to plan, schedule, and monitor the execution of transportation activities in support of deployment and reception of forces. CMOS provides joint warfighters with an end-to-end distribution capability and real time in-transit visibility during all passenger and cargo movements. CMOS is operational at 247 US Air Force, US Army, US Navy, US Marine Corps, National Security Agency, and Defense Contract Management Agency sites, with plans to activate additional US Army sites. This RDT&E funding will be used primarily to install/implement CMOS software and provide implementation training at new US Army sites. Funding will also be used to develop new software capabilities required by US Army customers. No FY 2009 funds are being requested. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development, because projects are being engineered to support operational weapon systems already in existence.
