Expeditionary Combat Support System (ECSS)

Abstract

The ECSS program was cancelled 11 December 2012. The Air Force still requires an integrated logistics capability that provides timely, accurate and reliable information to decision makers at all levels of command and across the full range of military operations. In the absence of ECSS, the Air Force is transitioning to a hybrid approach of core logistics system remediation, modernization and transformation. The ECSS Program planned to complete its Milestone B in April 2011, as reported in the February 2011 Critical Change Report (CCR). However, the program schedule deteriorated throughout 2011 which resulted in the ECSS Milestone B decision being delayed past April 2012 exceeding the one-year schedule threshold for program milestones. Based on the programmatic challenges detailed in the January 2012 ECSS Major Acquisition Information System Quarterly Report, the Senior Official determined that a Critical Change occurred. Based on information that was ascertained during the Critical Change process, the Air Force lost confidence in the program's ability to deliver any logistics capability to the warfighter. As a result of the Air Force's recommendation, the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology & Logistics) cancelled the ECSS program. The legacy remediation, modernization and transformation efforts that were being accomplished under project 675208, ECSS, are now contained within project 675207, Logistics Information Technology System Modernization.
