CELDi/AFRL: Logistics Readiness and Sustainment

该提案旨在通过阿肯色大学的工业/大学工程物流与配送合作研究中心，为美国空军（USAF），特别是空军研究实验室提供长期的基础研究。为了提供在危机中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，需要开发新的后勤技术。美国空军的采购和维持业务模式强调需要增加额外的流程，以开发新的和现有武器系统的后勤支持，以维持和保护我们的人员，因为他们进入伤害的方式。本研究的目标是发展定量和科学的方法，帮助研究人员和军事后勤人员分析后勤技术的有效性，包括以人为本和基于系统的观点。

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.
