Book Description
To inform the U.S. Army's decisionmaking process surrounding commonality in military equipment, RAND was asked to assess the advantages and disadvantages of commonality and how to best manage their trade-offs. This report presents analyses of the effects of commonality on costs, capabilities, and training and offers a decisionmaking aid that designers, developers, and procurers could use to inform their decisions about commonality.

Speaking with a Commonality Language
Author: Bruce Newsome
Publisher: Rand Corporation
ISBN: 0833041800
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
In recent years, the Army, and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) more broadly, has become increasingly interested in commonality the sharing of common parts across different entities. Commonality has implication for procurers, designers, developers, trainers, logisticians, and operators. Commonality offers many advantages and disadvantages; the trade-offs are sometimes difficult to discern and implement. To gain an understanding of the potential benefits and burdens (full life-cycle costs, training, and sustainment) of commonality, the U.S. Army Capabilities Integration Center asked RAND Arroyo Center to assess the consequences of "system and component commonality." Consequences are difficult to discern when there is confusion about the subject. As we began to examine existing literature on commonality, we realized that there is considerable confusion about what commonality is and why it matters. This report recommends a new, more rigorous lexicon for describing system commonality and component commonality and presents a common language for the Army and other services to share. This report provides definitions for common and eight related concepts.

Book Description
The audit objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of DoD's evaluation of foreign weapon systems, subsystems, and related equipment in reducing duplication of weapons research and development efforts, expediting schedules to field systems, improving performance, reducing unit cost of systems, and enhancing the commonality and interoperability of military equipment among North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies and other friendly nations.

Weapon Systems Handbook

ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
July 2019 Printed in BLACK AND WHITE The Army's Weapon Systems Handbook was updated in July 2019, but is still titled "Weapon Systems Handbook 2018." We are printing this in black and white to keep the price low. It presents many of the acquisition programs currently fielded or in development. The U.S. Army Acquisition Corps, with its 36,000 professionals, bears a unique responsibility for the oversight and systems management of the Army's acquisition lifecycle. With responsibility for hundreds of acquisition programs, civilian and military professionals collectively oversee research, development and acquisition activities totaling more than $20 billion in Fiscal Year 2016 alone. Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this so you don't have to. We at 4th Watch Publishing are former government employees, so we know how government employees actually use the standards. When a new standard is released, somebody has to print it, punch holes and put it in a 3-ring binder. While this is not a big deal for a 5 or 10-page document, many DoD documents are over 400 pages and printing a large document is a time- consuming effort. So, a person that's paid $25 an hour is spending hours simply printing out the tools needed to do the job. That's time that could be better spent doing mission. We publish these documents so you can focus on what you are there for. It's much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com. SDVOSB If there is a standard you would like published, let us know. Our web site is usgovpub.com

U. S. Military Equipment Prepositioned in Europe
Author: U S Government Accountability Office (G
Publisher: BiblioGov
ISBN: 9781289162016
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
The Army stores large quantities of equipment in Europe for use in an emergency by troops deployed from the United States by air. The equipment is stored under a concept known as prepositioned equipment configured to unit sets (POMCUS) which means that each U.S.-based unit's equipment is stored as a set at a particular site to which the unit would deploy. This equipment is kept combat ready through long-term storage in controlled-humidity warehouses and through periodic maintenance designed to keep deterioration to a minimum. The Army has made considerable improvement in the management of the POMCUS concept since it began intensifying its effort in January 1977. Although prepositioned equipment shortages have been greatly reduced, some shortages remain. There are also difficulties with updating authorizations of repair parts to reflect the type of equipment stored and the densities of the needed items. Equipment maintenance has improved considerably because of the successful completion of the annual maintenance programs, and more and better controlled-humidity storage facilities have protected the equipment, reducing corrosion problems. Although large maintenance backlogs no longer exist, better maintenance data collection efforts are needed to accurately forecast work force requirements. Accountability of major end items has improved through more frequent physical inventories and a more accurate equipment locator system. Accountability of components and poor inventory record information remain problems.
