Report of the Joint Industry - DoD Task Force on Computer Aided Logistic Support (CALS). Volume 4. Report of Information Requirements Subgroup

摘要

The effort to define information requirements divided neatly into two efforts. For the long term, information need for logistic support can be said to be inherent in product definition data; therefore, the long term effort should be in assuring that interface standards for engineering, design, manufacturing, and field operations are sufficient to provide basic information necessary ot plan and design the support system. In the short and mid-term, DoD and the Services must ensure that the various mechanisms for acquiring data (currently by imposing various Military Standards and Data Item Descriptions) are geared toward the acquisition of basic information. To this end, the general approach that was chosen was to being with today's data requirements (since these contain the complete though potentially redundant information requirement) and proceed to identify overlaps, breakdown to basic requirements and recommend the short and mid-term actions to modernize the requirements.
