Integration of the Munitions Agile Combat Support Model (MACSM) into LOGCAT and the JFACC Logistics Planning (JLP) Tools

摘要

HQ USAF/ILMW requires the development of a PC-based model, complementing JLP-M and B-CAT functionality, to aid munitions AOs in assessing the critical munitions variables, performing what-if analyses and reporting ROM munitions support requirements. The MACSM will complement, but not duplicate, munitions assessment modules of JLP-M and B-CAT. At the front end, interfacing with these systems will provide sorties, timing, and munitions requirements to enhance MACSM. Manual input of these data would also be possible. Results of MACSM analyses (output) could be provided to B-CAT in order to improve granularity of requirements for personnel, equipment, and lead time for munitions storage and buildup data. Results of MACSM analyses would constitute the munitions part of the overall logistics ROM planning in support of bare-base and AEF operations. MACSM will be used by Air Staff munitions AOs to improve day-to-day assessment of munitions support requirements for bare-base and AEF planning. It would also be part of the suite of tools to be used in the CSC during actual contingency support operations.
