Joint Airlift Information System (JALIS)

Abstract

Joint Air Logistic Information System (JALIS) is a critical element of the DoD CONUS and OCONUS Air Logistics assets. JALIS is an operational scheduling, aircraft management, and data analysis system that allows DoD Service Personnel to submit airlift requirements for DOD Personnel and cargo; air logistics flying units to communicate their aircraft availability in a real time graphic display; and designated scheduling organizations to compare airlift requirements to available aircraft and create mission assignments. Using a combination of system displays and email updates, JALIS informs applicable users of mission details and modifications. Geographically distributed, JALIS has a user base in excess of 4000 members, and moves thousands of DOD Personnel and tons of cargo annually in support of Navy Unique Fleet Essential Airlift, Army's Operational Support Airlift Agency (OSAA), United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), and United States Marine Corps (USMC). DOD Directive 5400, 43E mandates JALIS as the official DOD Airlift scheduling system; JALIS meets the requirement for multi-service coordinated Air Logistics scheduling as directed by Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Navy is designated as lead agency for sponsoring and funding the JALIS program.
