Securing systems´ life cycles through resource optimization

Sustainment of modern military systems has been a known challenge of defence organizations for decades and it seems that the cost of sustainment is still increasing rapidly. Systems are more complex and comprehensive consisting of fine electronics and software that possess rather short lifetime compared to elder hardware-based systems. Systems include so many different individually monitored subsystems with various maintenance requirements, that up-to-date software is needed for optimized sustainment of systems. A software, which provides realistic and real-time situational awareness (SA) of operational availability to support decision-making. Without the vital information provided by these systems, you most certainly are commanding and making decisions with months old SA. In our mindset, logistic systems are a vital part of every organizations command and control.

Military forces worldwide may have resources for procurement, but not for lifetime sustainment and personnel costs. It is vital that logistics support systems allow users to optimize sustainment and maintenance of systems in a manner, which enables their resources to be used purposefully. Through comprehensive sustainment and gathered maintenance history information, operators can plan predictive and preventive maintenance actions to be carried out without risking the operational availability resulting in cost-efficiency. In the sustainment of military systems, even seemingly small savings make a substantial impact.
