A system that will fly higher, faster, turn quicker and shoot straighter may be very vulnerable while it is on the ground. It also is useless when it is grounded. The converse is also very true. If we design a system that is the 'supportable' dream but is achieved at the expense of performance, then we have a 'lead sled' that will not perform up to the mission scenario. The key to the development of a system that has the optimum relationship of cost, schedule, performance, and supportability is to keep everything in balance. This is the goal of System engineering, Logistic Support Analysis and Inte-grated Logistics Support. These effective processes are tools to achieve the desired system development goals. They are not goals within themselves, nor are they independent. They are processes that are dependent upon each other to achieve the desired goals of a supportable system that will achieve the desired operational capabilities and still will be affordable. This paper focuses on the use of System Engineering, Logistic Support Analysis, and Integrated Logistic Support to achieve the desired goals of a supportable weapon system. It also focuses on the impacts these processes actually have on the design of the system for logistics supportability.
