Description

The United States Navy (USN) continues to face difficult sustainment challenges, compounded by incessant budget constraints and edicts to"do more with less". To address these challenges, the USN has standardized on Performance Based Logistics (PBL) as the main component to Total Life Cycle Systems Management. With its emphasis on performance measures, PBL has the potential to greatly improve warfighter logistic support. However, to date PBL has not lived up to its potential. Key impediments include the inability to (1) collect data across the many disparate structured"gold"data sources (2) process and extract information from unstructured acquisition and product related data sources and (3) fuse structured and unstructured information to achieve a viable current-readiness solution set all of which must be done within the context of performance-based workflow. To address these challenges Securboration Inc., teaming with STIMULUS Engineering Services, proposes to develop the Maritime Electronic Warfare (MEW) Sustainment Information Card or MEWSIC to contribute to the MEW"s vision for PBL and Product Support Strategy (PSS). MEWSIC will utilize provide novel based Securboration"s advanced text analytic pipeline capability to exploit both structured and unstructured data sources to derive a true picture of a system"s operational status and risk factors.
