Abstract

Military ground vehicles comprise a large part of the U.S. arsenal. They perform as weapons platforms, personnel carriers, and supply and support vehicles for a wide variety of mission profiles. High operational availability (Ao) of these vehicles is critical to achieving their mission objectives. This is accomplished by effective maintenance, supply and support enabled by a well-integrated and effective global combat support system. When system status and platform health information is monitored on each vehicle and reported up through the echelons, then these processes can be most effectively executed, which results in high vehicle operational availability.
