Navy/Marine Corps Manager's Desktop Guide for CALS Implementation. 2nd Edition

Abstract

Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistic Support (CALS) is becoming a very important part of the Navy's business approach. The intent of CALS is to improve the timeliness, reduce the costs, and improve the quality of defense system acquisition and support. This goal is to be accomplished through the general adoption of a set of procedures and standards for the production, access, management, maintenance, and distribution of technical data in digital form. This goal will enable more effective creation, exchange, and use of data for defense systems and equipment. The first part of CALS, now being implemented, is focusing on phasing out paper document transfer where feasible, in favor of electronic file exchanges. A longer-term CALS objective is to develop integrated product data bases and create advanced engineering and manufacturing systems. The approach to CALS implementation will vary by program acquisition phase and by program type, size and duration.
