Air Force ALP AEF Multi-Planning Development and Demonstration

Abstract

Doctrinally, Joint Vision 2020 and Focused Logistics, as well as the Air Force's Vision for Global Engagement and Agile Combat Support, chart a course for the future of logistics as a foundation to operations support. These visions place great demands on the logistician and logistics infrastructure to provide rapid, scaled, and agile logistics to the operator worldwide. To meet those demands, the Logistician requires enhanced information support for logistics command and control issues. Early evidence suggests that one of the major constraints in achieving Agile Combat Support and short-notice expeditionary operations is our Logistics Command and Control (Log C2) infrastructure. The AF requires an infrastructure that facilitates force support planning, execution, and monitoring across all operational phases of all missions. The purpose of this task is to develop a cluster society based on DARPA's Advanced Logistics Project (ALP) infrastructure. This is a continuation of the GSA contract titled ALP AEF Initiative (F41624-99-F-0003). The primary focus of this delivery order is to add additional functionality that was developed under the previous effort. This effort will focus on adding functionality for supporting multiple concurrent operations plans (OPLANS).
