The downsizing of the US armed forces, the reduced funding and sparing for parts, and the increased number of simultaneous threat engagements have led to a requirement for even greater control over available resources at the wing level. Current management information systems for wing-level logistics are slow and manpower intensive, often requiring a team of specialists to manually interpret logistics data from multiple, uncorrelated sources. To address these concerns, the Air Force Research Lab Human Effectiveness Directorate (AFRL/HESR) determined the need for a Research and Development (R&D) program that would investigate ways to improve the timeliness and understandability of logistics information. The Logistics Control and Information Support (LOCIS) program was the result. The 42-month LOCIS program began in September 1999. The first of three spiral demonstrations was successfully held in the Fall of 2000. This paper describes in detail the LOCIS Spiral I demonstration and results, as well as the proposed plan for the remaining 30 months. In addition, this paper discusses current transition plans and resulting impact on the DoD.
