Joint Airlift Information System (JALIS)

Abstract

Joint Airlift Information System (JALIS) is a multipurpose on-demand automated scheduling program for Operational Support Aircraft (OSA) and Navy Unique Fleet Essential Aircraft (NUFEA). The JALIS application allows DoD Service personnel the ability to request airlift support and retrieve status information about the movement of DoD personnel and cargo. JALIS provides the airlift schedulers with a decision-support tool to develop efficient flight schedules based on the priority of requests and the availability of aircraft assets. It also provides the aircraft operators with an on-line tool to communicate the latest aircraft status, retrieve flight assignments, and enter post-mission reporting data. The DoD Directive 5400.43E mandates JALIS as the official DoD airlift scheduling system, which meets the requirement for multi-service coordinated air logistics scheduling as directed by the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff. The United States Navy is designated as the lead agency for sponsoring and funding the JALIS program. FY12 Research, Development, Test, & Evaluation funding will be used to support JALIS development modernizations necessary to partially meet the requirements identified by the DEPSECDEF, requiring United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) to provide global visibility of all Commercial Variant Aircraft (CVA) and Operational Support Airlift (OSA) aircraft world wide. JALIS: This system provides an airlift data collection and analysis system for the purpose of airlift and aircraft management. JALIS supports the objectives and strategies presented in the DoD Transportation Corporate Information Management (CIM) Strategic Plan and Enterprise Integration (EI) Implementation Strategy as directed for DoD transportation management responsibilities in the USTRANSCOM Joint transportation CIM Center (JTCC) Abbreviated Integration Decision Paper (IDP) for the JALIS. Current RDT&E funding supports improvements to the current JALIS application and database by continuing to implement approved Joint Configuration Control Board enhancements, complying with DoD security requirements and mandates, and upgrading the application to utilize vender supported development software tools. Reduction in line item for FY10: $13,000 was a result of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) adjustments. Reduction in line items for FY11 through FY16: Zeroing out funding for these years as the JALIS program will transfer to SPAWAR (BSO 39) in FY11 and out.
