Logistics Decision Support Tool (LDST) Framework and Design Concepts

摘要

This report documents the results of research activities associated with the development of a framework for the Logistics Decision Support Tool (LDST). The specific research activities conducted as part of this effort included: (1) identifying deficiencies and shortfalls associated with current processes used to develop logistics support concepts for space systems, (2) specifying LDST functional requirements to help address these deficiencies and shortfalls, (3) performing a survey of current logistics support tools and software technologies that can be leveraged-on to address LDST requirements, (4) estimating a return on investment for LDST, and (5) development of design concepts to demonstrate the core functions of the LDST.
