Determination of an Achievable Materiel Availability for the Joint Air-to-Ground Missile

Abstract

When Am (Materiel Availability), which marks a significant departure from Ao (Operational Availability), was established as a fleet-level Key Performance Parameter (KPP) by Joint Requirements Oversight Council Memorandum 161-06,issued by Navy Admiral Edmund P. Giambastiani on August17, 2006, the Joint Attack Munitions Systems (JAMS) Project Office Logistics Directorate was tasked to develop a viable Am threshold and objective Am KPP for the Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) system. This article describes the thought process and analyses that resulted in the JAGM AmKPP contained in the JAGM Capability Development Document(CDD) and system specification. The cause and effect relationships between logistics activities as well as the pros and cons of the application of Am to the JAGM system are discussed
