Deployment and Distribution Velocity Management

Abstract

DOD requires procedures/technologies targeted at optimizing throughput at the nodes and through the conduits of the deployment and distribution supply chains, from origin to point of use and return to include: inventory management enhancers (includes node cargo management/tracking); materiel handling innovations (including methods of reducing handling); improved physical access to nodes (includes aircraft all-weather visual systems); port throughput enhancements (includes in-port time reduction methods); and innovative delivery methods (for example, precision airlift, autonomous re-supply). This project addresses required mission support to combatant commanders and other customers of DOD’s distribution and transportation systems in the area of deployment/distribution velocity management.
