CELDi/AFRL: Logistics Readiness and Sustainment

制定该提案的目的是通过阿肯色大学工程物流与配送工业/大学合作研究中心为美国空军（USAF），特别是空军研究实验室提供长期基础研究。 为了在危机中提供维持我们的作战人员和武器系统所需的敏捷作战物资支持，需要开发新技术的后勤。 美国空军的采购和保障业务模式强调需要增加额外的流程，为新的和现有的武器系统的整合开发后勤支持，以在我们的人员受到伤害时维持和保护他们。 这项研究的目标是开发定量和科学的方法，帮助研究人员和军事后勤人员结合以人为中心和基于系统的视角来分析物流技术的有效性。

This proposal has been formulated to provide the United States Air Force (USAF) and specifically the Air Force Research Laboratory with long term, basic research through the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Engineering Logistics and Distribution at the University of Arkansas. In order to provide the agile combat material support necessary to sustain our warfighters and weapons systems in a crisis, new technologies for logistics need to be developed. The USAF business model for acquisition and sustainment highlights the need to add additional processes that develop the logistics support for the incorporation of new and existing weapons systems to sustain and protect our personnel as they go into harm's way. The goal of this research is to develop quantitative and scientific methods that will assist researchers and military logisticians in the analysis of the effectiveness of logistics technology that incorporates both a human-centered and a system based perspective.
