Abstract

Development of reconnaissance systems in the information age involving new trends in C3I fifth generation of computers, artificial intelligence and expert systems etc is a challenge. However the result depends on the ability to balance all the factors involved whereas the logistics community contribution to mission success becomes more and more important especially in certain airborne systems with encreasing complex techniques. The very simple fact that the development and quality of complex system does not proceed faster than the custumers ability to absorbe, select, specify, coordinate and decide from the explorative development is well known but still a great problem. This paper will describe some baselines for a logistics management program with emphasis on Life Cycle Cost (LCC) used to solve the main problems under the must severe conditions. Development of fixed priced LCC guaranteed multirole a/c for the year 2000 integrated with automated very short "early warning", and a mix of personnel in the field with conscript whereas the necessary "culture of reconnaissance" has to be restored are some of the features that creates the background. The integrated logistics support controls all activities affecting AVAILABILTY and LCC.
