Focusing Sustainment Logistics Toward Capabilities Development: Part I

Abstract

This is part I of a two-part article suggesting that life cycle logisticians press to establish more persistent and thorough analysis of fielded defense system sustainment performance and associated operations and support costs. With growing emphasis on mitigating such costs, analyses could be used to greater effect by logistics advocates during the earliest capabilities-determination phases of acquisition. But timely analysis is not routinely cycling back (a necessity to an iterative acquisition process) to serve logistics advocacy in driving early-phase systems acquisition.
