Report of the Joint Industry - DoD Task Force on Computer Aided Logistic Support (CALS). Volume 1. Summary.
Abstract
In April 1984 the Institute for Defense Analyses was directed by OSD to assemble a task force of senior industry and government people to address the problems faced by DoD in attaining an integrated computer-aided logistics support system. The task force was given a charter to develop a strategy and a recommended master plan for computer-aided logistic support. The task force was formed and held an intensive series of meetings during the last half of 1984 during which this report was prepared. Volume I of the report gives a summary of the task force deliberations and lays out a recommended strategy and master plan that would, in five years, have in place all the elements needed for a complete computer-aided logistics support (CALS) system based on electronic data transfer. Volumes II, III, IV and V of the report were prepared by the subgroups on Policy and Legal Constraints, Architecture, Information Requirements, and Technical Issues that were formed to examine different aspects of implementing a CALS system. These volumes contain detailed information that supports the recommendations made in the Summary, Volume I.
