SUSTAIN(trade mark) Sustainment Strategy for Avionics Information Needs
Abstract
The primary directive for a military systems sustainer is to provide support to the warfighter by insuring that his weapons system is operational and available. That requirement is the bottom line, but there are myriad ways of accomplishing it at vastly different costs. Combined with the fact that military weapons systems are being called upon to remain in service far past their design lifetime, increased importance is placed on the system sustainer to make correct decisions, especially considering the shrinking military budgets. There is a wealth of data available for the sustainer to use in making decisions, including historical reliability and cost, spares availability, future planned use and, perhaps most importantly in the near term, component obsolescence. An efficient, mechanized method of analyzing all the data available to the sustainer is needed to help him, or her, make correct decisions at the correct time.
