DEVELOPING ROBUST SUPPORT STRUCTURES FOR HIGH-TECHNOLOGY SUBSYSTEMS: THE AH-64 APACHE HELICOPTER.

Book Description
Using data on the high-technology subsystems of the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, this report hypothesizes five alternative logistics structures (two traditional ones that rely on conventional depot support of intermediate repair and three that focus on more responsive support) and evaluates them in terms of comparative cost-effectiveness and robustness. The study found that the responsive support alternatives featuring Special Repair Activity support of critical items or fast-turnaround continental U.S. (CONUS) depots tied to the theater by assured rapid transportation offer a means for providing cost-effective support of the Apache in a variety of conditions. The research substantiates previous RAND research on the M-1 tank that argued that the Army must increase the responsiveness in its logistics structures or face a loss in combat capability.

Book Description
The U.S. Army is relying more and more on high-technology weapons systems, which present a challenge for the logistics structure that must support them. Unlike the simpler weapons systems of the past, today's technologically sophisticated systems have components that are extremely expensive; in addition, maintaining today's systems is far more difficult, because diagnosing and repairing complex subsystem faults require sophisticated and expensive test and diagnostic equipment. And on top of all this, the uncertainties of war make forecasting demands for these expensive items highly problematic. These factors combine in ways that negate the value of preplanned inventory as a way to solve the demands for spares in changing environments. We believe that a more realistic solution to this challenge involves developing and evaluating alternative logistics structures whose more fundable resources-like transportation and repair-are used to respond to changing wartime demands. Using data on the high-technology subsystems of the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, we hypothesize alternative logistics structures and assess their responsiveness-in terms of cost-effective improvements to weapon system availability-under contingency scenarios.
