Logistics Control and Information Support (LOCIS)

Abstract

This technical report contains the results of the Air Force Logistics Control and Information Support (LOCIS) project. The LOCIS objective was to perform logistics research and development in a series of spirals that concentrated on information technologies applied to wing level decision makers and to support the Agile Combat Support and the Air Expeditionary Force. More specifically, the objective was to explore, develop and integrate information technologies that automatically access critical information; display clear and concise information; help the user solve difficult problems by suggesting alternative courses of action; and autonomously take action that benefits the user. These objectives were implemented through the%following technological areas: Information Fusion, Proactive Decision Support, and Dynamic User Interface. In summary, an effective LOCIS system will provide multiple benefits including more timely information, minimized search time, reduced data interpretation, predictive simulations, and dynamic re-planning.
