TSC team also assists the Navy is applying the logistics analysis and
reviews to optimize the supply and provisioning requirements. TSC’s modeling and simulation experience covers over 20 years of service to the DoD by providing requirements definition, program management, technical, analytical, testing, and documentation development services in support of programs such as the AEGIS Program Office, Naval Ammunition Logistics Center (NALC) Mechanicsburg, PA, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane IN, NATO SeaSparrow Missile Program, Naval Air Systems Command Research Engineering Group. TSC has also supported the Ground Missile Defense (GMD) Program, formerly National Missile Defense (NMD), the Army Military Satellite Command and the Army Research Laboratory. TSC developed NAUTILUS - a logistics requirements and cost forecasting simulation model – in support of the AEGIS Program Office Fleet Logistics, NALC, NSWC Crane, NATO SeaSparrow and SMART-T. The NAUTILUS modeling tool has been highly successful over the years because of its innovative approach for accurately estimating system supply support requirements using historical data readily available at most inventory control points. NAUTILUS has been used extensively to develop spares and maintenance budgets, perform trade off studies of emerging technologies, support engineering alterations, and evaluate hardware obsolescence. NAUTILUS is specifically tailored to meet the sustainability needs of all types of weapon systems from the beginning of their development and through the remainder of their life cycle. NAUTILUS is used to perform AEGIS Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) cost/benefits analysis and Performance Based Logistic (PBL) studies to define optimum investment/asset management strategies. At NSWC CD, it is used to support AN/SPY-1 tube procurement and trade-studies. At the Naval Ammunition Logistics Center (NALC), Mechanicsburg, PA, it’s used to provide budgetary and sparing support for mines, torpedoes, and Air Launch Missiles (8E Cog). The application of NAUTILUS technology, with a proven history of success on Navy ships, Army satellites, and Navy ordnance programs, has the potential of saving millions of dollars in sparing, maintenance and modernization costs in both fielded or emerging radars. For example, a cost trade study performed for AEGIS COTS maintenance philosophy revealed it was more cost effective to repair the SMP Processor to the circuit card level than at the OEM proposed LRU level. This yielded a $143M cost avoidance over 15 years. This work has been performed under N00164-01-D-0039 and N00024-00-F-2307. On contract N00140-03-C-0040, Sabre Systems provides analysis of capabilities of supply automated information systems in support of SPAWARSYSCEN Chesapeake. Sabre ensures that the functional requirements of NAVSUP Publications P485, Maintenance Supply Procedures, P437, MILSTRIP/MILSTRAP, and other government directives pertaining to supply and financial management of materials are satisfied. Our projects include the development and changes to application windows and various reports for Ship and MALS Automated Reconciliation Tracking System (SMARTS), Integrated Barcoding System (IBS), Automatic identification technology (AIT) for ATLASS, Support Package processing (incoming/outgoing) for Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron (MALS) and Naval Air Stations. EG&G prepares ILS packages, Alteration Installation Team (AIT) checklists, ILS Certification forms, address supply support issues, conduct ILS turnovers and provide all ILS products to the Fleet Integrated Logistics Overhaul Team (FLTILOTEAM). They review and comment on User Logistics Support Summaries (ULSSs) and assist with reviews of all ILS products for SHIPALTs. They maintain Configuration Databases and ensure they reflect current ship and shore base configurations, and review Configuration Validation Reports and Configuration Change Records (OPNAV 4790 CK) and ensure the data is entered into Configuration Data Managers Database-Open Architecture (CDMD-OA). EG&G provides ILS and technical services for combined SEMAT II and C5RA aboard ships of the Atlantic Fleet, and provides logistics services on all assessment related tasking, including research of all configuration discrepancies, material support issues, ordering, receiving, of On Board Repair Parts (OBRPs), and material necessary to correct any discrepancies. They also provide equipment configuration control at the Command and Control System Module (CCSM) Off-hull Assembly and Test Site (COATS) facility in Groton, CT supporting VIRGINIA Class Combat Control System (CCS) test, evaluation, and certification. EG&G provides ILS support for the AN/WLY-1( ) self-defense sonar system, performs supportability analysis including identification of candidates, reference designator structure definition, functional requirements identification, testability and diagnostic procedure development, Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) including Source Maintenance and Recoverability (SM&R) code assignment, maintainability optimization and identification of Maintenance Assist Modules (MAMS), and provide provisioning data in Interactive Computer Aided Provisioning System (ICAPS) format. Contracts supporting this work include N00140-00-D-0094, N00024-01-C-7019/D.O. 0005, N00189-98-R-0107 and N00164-98-D-0020. |
