A Prediction of Aviation Logistics Requirements (PALR) for the Decade. Volume 2,

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to (1) develop a basis for forecasting naval aviation logistics requirements for the 1985-1995 decade, (2) to identify problems inherent in the logistic support environment of naval aviation that will surface during this time-frame, and (3) make Navy leadership aware of the opportunities that exist in the future to alleviate the problems. Employing widely used technological forecasting techniques e.g. (expert opinions, delphi, scenarios, trend extrapolation, etc.) the study projected 8 to 18 years into the future. Thus sufficient lead time is provided naval planners for developing efficient and effective systems to support the complex equipment and weapon systems of the near future. PALR has provided (A) a forum for industry and military experts to discuss the future of naval aviation (B) an awareness of existing trends that will exist unless remedies are taken. (Author)
