Sense & Respond Logisticsfor the

Marine Corps Light Armored Vehicle

Agenda

• Background– The Light Armored Vehicle– The LAV Program Manager’s Office

• The Challenge• The Sense & Respond Solution• How Can it Help?

– The benefits

• Why Do It– The motivation

Take-Aways• S&R is a concept – not a thing

– Enabled by technology, process and policy

• Full implementation of S&R including asset health monitoring and IUID tracking will result in:– Reduction of TOC by ¼ Billion Dollars for LAV– Reduction of unscheduled maintenance by ~90%

• Holistic Approach is required to gain the benefits

There is no silver bullet

Light Armored Vehicle• Entered USMC Service in 1980’s• Will Remain in Service for the Foreseeable

Future • Vehicles are Employed in Four Light

Armored Reconnaissance (LAR) Battalions• The LAV is:

– Fast– Lethal– Austere

Program Manager’s Office-Light Armored Vehicle

• Located with Army in Warren Michigan• Large Office with Many Diverse duties

– USMC LAV Fleet– Foreign Military Sales– Marine Personnel Carrier

• Substantial Marine Representation in Office• Visionary Leadership

– Embraced PM’s Responsibility as Life Cycle System Manager early

– Recognized better data is needed to provide better support

Based on That Vision, PMLAV Initiated a Series of Projects

• IDE – Integrated Digital Environment• IETM – Interactive Electronic Technical Manual• CTMA Projects with the National Center for

Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) to Explore Sense & Respond Logistics– On-board sensors– Wireless communication of data– Network sharing of data– JAMISS

…each building on previous lessons learned

Joint Asset Management Joint Asset Management Information Support System (JAMISS) Information Support System (JAMISS)

• A web based logistics management software system that interfaces with disparate authoritative data sources making pertinent information available to stakeholders at all levels.

• JAMISS unlocks the full potential of IUID for Condition Based Maintenance and Total Life Cycle Systems Management by seamlessly incorporating IUID data into the maintenance process.

DESCRIPTION

CHARACTERISTICS HISTORY

• Government owned software application• Web Based• Modular/Scalable• Hardware agnostic

•Riding on EMSS backbone in theater• Compatible with applicable databases

•IUID Registry•MIMMS/SASSY•FEDLOG•IETM• AHM Sensors

• Role based / task based

• Originally Visual Labmate – Norfox Software• Used for support of USMC calibration labs

• 2005 - USMC (TMDE) obtained the source code & continued development naming it VAMMP

• 2005 - PMLAV began exploring the use of VAMMP as part of the Sense & Respond logistics project with CTMA

• Integrating the LAV IETM with VAMMP• 2007 – Began translating VAMMP to web based app that

incorporates IUID naming it JAMISS• 2008 – JDSR (at NSWC Crane) begins work on using JAMISS

for automated armory• 2009 – PMLAV deploys JAMISS forward to capture IUID data

on LAV fleet and begin to capture maintenance actions

IUID/JAMISS Efforts Ongoing at PMLAV

• CTMA S&RL Project – Sponsored by National Center for Manufacturing Sciences

• Tactical Vehicle Test Bed– At NSWC Crane, IN

• JAMISS Deployed– Using IUID in the fight to track vehicles

• Coalition Logistics Interoperability– Joint effort with NATO

• Oak Ridge National Labs Study– Understanding the data

• Automated Armory– Tracking our weapons

Tactical Vehicle Test Bed; NSA Crane

– 15 Vehicle fleet of early generation LAVs• On-board sensors• IUID marks• JAMISS• Wireless network

Purpose:

Provide a platform on which to test potential technology upgrades, alternative fuels, operating concepts, etc. without danger of impact on the operating fleet.

JAMISS Deployed• Currently forward with the deployed LAR

– Riding EMSS network

– Training conducted at Mojave Viper

– Forward deployed LAV assets all received IUID marks prior to shipment

– FSRs deployed to guide progress

• Phased approach to full implementation– Challenges to progress include:

• Shortage of hardware• IA restrictions

• Beginning mid 2011 – JAMISS Automated Armory will be deployed forward

Coalition Logistics Interoperability

• Study the tools and techniques necessary for cooperative logistical support in a multi-national operation

• Develop and demonstrate an IUID DEX for receipt, capture and storage of IUID data across NATO nations

Using JAMISS Demonstrate the ability to: • Enable SIM• Improve traceability• Retain item history • Reduce Class IX stockage• Integrate USMC “Bridge Technologies” into NATO environment

Oak Ridge National Labs

Making Sense of the DataConducting a series of related projects to help PMLAV

understand the meaning of the data already collected and advise the PM regarding the most useful data to collect and best methods to collect it in the future.

• Data Analysis• SIL• IUID• JAMISS• Web 3.0

Automated Armory Using JAMISS & IUID

Problem Statement:

Current armory business practices have not changed significantly in half a century. The manual process relying on paper and pencil is inefficient, slow and inaccurate.

Benefits:

• Accurate check in / out enabled by IUID, CAC and biometric capability

• Fast and Accurate Inventory • Accurate parent/child relationships• Maintenance Tracking• Authorized personnel entry/exit records• Printing 10520 cards, reports, etc• Capable of accepting 2d, 1d, RFID,

biometric, magnetic strip, biometric, manual inputs

Faster Process = More Training Time

…with greater accuracy

A Few of The Benefits

• Increased Availability of Assets

– IUID and CBM

• Accurate Tracking/Accountability of Assets

– IUID and Automated Armory

• Reduced Total Ownership Cost

– IUID and EPLS

• Lighten the MAGTF

– “Sharper Teeth; Shorter Tail”

Availability

Availability

Each failure is treated as a separate incident when it occurs. There is no knowledge of the condition of components on the vehicle, or of the risk of impending failures.

Most maintenance down time is spent awaiting parts. IUID data enables accurate prediction of upcoming required maintenance action in order that several such events can be packaged to be conducted at one time. Simultaneous repairs of multiple failures will also reduce total repair time.

Needed parts can be ordered before the vehicle is brought to maintenance. When the vehicle is brought in, the parts are awaiting the vehicle eliminating Logistics Delay down time completely, increasing Availability by 26 days over the period demonstrated.
