Air Force Tech Order Management System (AFTOMS). Automation Plan-Final Report. Version 1.0.

摘要

Computer aided Acquisition and Logistics Support (CALS) is a Department of Defense (DoD) program designed to improve weapon systems support through digital automation. In June 1985, the joint industry/DoD Task Force on CALS issued a five volume report (IDA R-285) which presented the objectives and scope of the program, as well as a top-level management and implementation plan. The task force concluded that the following objectives can be met: Design more supportable weapon systems; Support transition from paper based to digital logistics and technical information for DoD operations; Routinely acquire and distribute logistics and technical information in digital form for new weapon systems. The Joint Task Force recognized that to implement the target CALS system by 1990, efforts within the armed forces must be coordinated and focused on the CALS architecture. The DoD directed each service to create a permanent CALS Management Integration Office (MIO) as the official focal point for coordination of its logistics automation programs.
