Virtual Space Logistics Readiness Center (VSLRC): Concept of Operations

摘要

The purpose of this research was to collect, analyze, and define high-level needs and features of the Virtual Space Logistics Readiness Center (VSLRC). It focuses on the capabilities needed by the stakeholders and targeted users, and why those needs exist. The VSLRC is an interactive system that increases support to the space systems warfighter by providing access to near real-time system operational and equipment status, and linking logistics data to it's impact on operational readiness. The VSLRC will integrate all necessary logistics, maintenance, and operations data into a single system that decision- makers can use to identify, diagnose, and take corrective actions to solve logistics issues in the space systems' supply chains. VSLRC is a web-based system, and will operate within a portal-like environment that adheres to Air Force and Department of Defense (DoD) interoperability standards. Initially, the VSLRC will be housed in a secure environment (i.e., Secure Internet Protocol Network (SIPRNET), but will eventually transfer information between classified and unclassified environments for ease of use).
