- Description
- The Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) is conducting market research to identify sources which are capable of processing mission critical data from ground tactical equipment systems in a real, or near real-time manner from austere environments under various climatic conditions. The current method of tracking ground tactical equipment mission critical data is manpower intensive, untimely, voluminous, subject to inaccuracies, and requires expansive communication assets. Autonomic Logistics (AL) provides a superior capability for reporting mission critical data (Equipment Health, Identification, Location, Fuel and Ammunition Levels, and Mobile Loads) in legacy and emerging systems. AL addresses deficiencies inherent in the current reporting systems and can be utilized throughout the spectrum of Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) operations. The capability will interface with existing/planned Combat Service Support (CSS), Command and Control (C2), and Automated Information Systems (AIS) through legacy and emerging logistics communication systems. The objective AL capability will provide critical logistic data (Equipment Health, Identification, Location, Fuel and Ammunition Levels, and Mobile Loads) for operational equipment through a netted sensor network and into the CSS information network. Interfaces with external data networks will further reduce request to fulfillment (RTF), or logistics delay time. AL will be incorporated into legacy and emerging select Marine Corps ground tactical equipment. The Marine Requirements Oversight Council / Marine Corps Review Board (MROC / MCRB) will recommend candidate AL weapons systems and equipment to the PM. AL will complement Joint Vision 2020 and operate within the Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare (EMW) environment. Supported applications will be able to interact with onboard combat support systems to automatically generate AL data, but also allow for manual input of data, as well as identifying disabling conditions. To the maximum extent possible, the AL system will utilize legacy and emerging communications devices, onboard sensors, and interface with current and emerging AISs. Interested sources should go to MARCORSYSCOM?s website at http://www.marcorsyscom.usmc.mil/sites/ctq/al.asp for additional information regarding the AL Program as well as for specific submission instructions.
