DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe primary goal of this research is to demonstrate the value that a multiple-weapon-systems analysis can have in helping the Army achieve more robust support structures and greater weapon-systems availability from limited budgets. A secondary goal is to provide a model analysis employing new techniques that might guide U.S. Army analysts in similar evaluations involving other shared maintenance facilities, particularly the forth coming IFTE. Ultimately, the research goal is not only to support future weapon systems but also to inform logistic policy and technical decisions being considered by the Army.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe U.S. Army shows signs of shifting away from using "weapon-system-specific" test diagnostic equipment and toward using more broadly capable versions of equipment that can isolate faults within subsystems and components from a number of different weapon systems (e.g., the proposed integrated family of test equipment, IFTE). As a result, weapon systems that once had uncontested access to specialized test equipment will now be relying on a common facility, and, hence, their availabilities will become linked. This study focuses on two systems--the M1 tank and M2/M3 Bradley fighting vehicle--that are linked through a common reliance on direct support electrical systems test set (DSESTS) test equipment. The author finds that greater weapon system availability and more robust support may be attainable at constant cost by emphasizing resources that are fungible across weapon systems, such as test equipment and improved theater transportation for selected high-priority items. The report also demonstrates a multiple weapon systems methodology that is instrumental in identifying such potential improvements.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis report describes the prototype development for a U.S. Army combat-oriented logistics execution system with VISION (Visibility of Support Options). The Army calls this system the Readiness-Based Maintenance System (RBMS). RBMS prioritizes repair and distribution of spare parts by maximizing the probability of meeting unit-level weapon system availability goals. The report discusses the feasibility, effectiveness, and usability of RBMS through the use of analytic demonstration prototypes. It outlines the methodology behind RBMS and describes the outputs it produces. It then presents findings on RBMS's potential value for the Army, describes the input data requirements and the availability of usable data in present Army data systems, and discusses evaluation results of the demonstration prototypes. Finally, the report presents prospective users' evaluations of the perceived usefulness of the system and suggestions for its improvement.
