Joint Strike Fighter Program Office (JSFPO) Support
Challenge
The JSFPO needed independent assessments of the JSF logistics
requirements.
Solution
DRC uses various models to ensure
availability of accurate and essential information to
support selection decisions and weapon system design
configurations. DRC evaluated the supportability
characteristics of the Weapon System Contractor's
configurations and performed reliability and maintainability
studies, including assessments of the effects on sortie
generation, logistics footprint, manpower personnel and
training life cycle costs. Our support encompasses a variety
of acquisition support services including autonomics
logistics, strategic planning, business operations
management and technical assessment, and analysis. Specific
work includes assistance in evaluating and developing
acquisition and sustainment strategies, analytical support
for government validation and verification of the autonomic
logistics system, technical support for JSF models
enhancement, business process improvement initiatives, and
recommendations for performance-based program metrics that
capture operational and supportability requirements.
DRC performs modeling and simulation
analysis of the Weapon System Contractor (WSC) proprietary
databases and provides independent assessments of the WSC
models in support of JSF requirements. These efforts focus
on assessing the validity of the WSC’s estimates. Studies
included assessments of sortie generation, mission
reliability, logistics footprint, manpower personnel and
training, life cycle costs, and operational/support cost
effectiveness of the JSF.
Benefits/Achievements
- Consistent characterization of
logistics footprint tied to sortie generation rate.
- Independent cost/performance
trade-offs, optimization, sensitivity and what-if
analyses.
- Establishment of cost-effective,
affordable supportability concepts that optimize mission
availability, affordability and readiness.
- Reductions in manpower, spares and
support equipment requirements.
