Description
Logistics Information Technology (LOGIT) is a critical initiative within the Air Force's Research, Development, Test & Evaluation budget activity. The program aims to provide an integrated logistics capability that offers timely, accurate, and reliable information to decision-makers at all levels of command and across the full range of military operations. This includes addressing transformation, remediation, and modernization of operational systems. The specific objectives include transforming logistics business processes, remediating critical IT risks through logistics strike teams, and modernizing software upgrades for operational systems to increase functional capabilities and reduce sustainment costs.
Furthermore, the program focuses on leveraging the flexibilities provided by DoDI 5000.75 and Agile development methodologies to identify requirements across various functional areas within the AF logistics enterprise. It aims to acquire and deploy approved material solutions in an efficient and effective manner utilizing the 5-phased Business Capability Acquisition Cycle (BCAC). Additionally, the program seeks to standardize business processes within major logistics functional areas through Transformational Capability Initiatives (TCIs), such as Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul Initiative (MROi), Foundational Logistics Information Technology Enterprise System (FLITES), Supply Capability Initiative, Air Force Product Lifecycle Management Capability Initiative (AF-PLM), and Field Maintenance Capability Initiative.
Overall, the program's goals include achieving statutory Financial Improvement Audit Readiness (FIAR) requirements, aligning with Joint Chiefs of Staff J-4 Concept for Logistics, and reducing long-term portfolio costs through system consolidation efforts. It also emphasizes the procurement of common technology capabilities such as cloud migration, technology development, and mobile applications that support all aforementioned initiatives. Additionally, it may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability.
