Integration of Diagnostics into Ground Equipment Study. Volume 2
Abstract
The Marine Corps is transitioning into a new form of logistics support. Traditional means of support are being amended to take advantage of computer, sensor and communications technologies to provide efficiencies in combat service support. This project will review what technologies are available to support the Marine Corps logistics transformation effort and how these technologies can be implemented in the maintenance and supply (components of CSS) of ground equipment. To conduct a review of the sources of autonomic logistics data, the requirements of what that data should be, the timeliness or required "pull" of such data, its transmission means in garrison and in the field (afloat or ashore), the availability of current or planned logistic systems to receive data, and what Decision Support Tools (DSTs) would be used to transform the data into the necessary information by which timely and long-term support decisions can be made as part of Total Ownership Cost (TOC) of the LAV family of vehicles. The study will recommend standards for the Corps to apply across the existing and planned end item regarding diagnostic sensor integration as designated by the Sponsor and provide a programmatic road map on how autonomic logistics data can support future maintenance and supply side USMC logistics systems.
