  1. Sense & Respond Support System Bob Appleton 11 July 2007

  2. FOCUS Accurate and timely knowledge in the right hands enables Marines to win battles. …If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles… If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. - Sun Tzu

  3. THE SENSE & RESPOND PROCESS Observe Orient Act Decide

  4. SIMPLY PUT • Obtain Accurate Information • Understand it • Disseminate it • Act upon it As Autonomously as Possible

  5. HISTORY / BACKGROUND • NCMS Phase I (November 2003 – December 2004) – Proved the Concept • Two Sensored Vehicles • Manual retrieval of data on CD • Collected data from one vehicle for a year • Received the 2004 Defense Manufacturing Excellence Award

  6. NCMS Phase II(November 2005-March 2007) • Ten sensored vehicles • Wireless & automatic transmission of data to local server • Generate vehicle condition reports locally • Mission data displayed on RIT designed COP • Data transmitted to “enterprise” at NWSC Crane, IN • Made available to authorized stakeholders • Data analysis for prognostics & readiness modeling

  7. Key Elements of Phase II • Ten sensored LAV-25s Operating at SOI West • Sensors, wired and wireless, aboard vehicle • On-board computer • Driver warning lights and remote crew display • Satellite and wireless communication off vehicle • Portable Maintenance Device (PMD) (Toughbook 18) • IETM Reader • Access to vehicle log book, PMCS, etc • Remote maintenance assistance • Local Maintenance Server • Gateway to internet • Data storage and backup • Additional Applications • Data Roll-up to JDSR, Crane (Temporary IDE) • Common Operating Picture • Data Analysis

  8. S&R Starts at the Platform

  9. S&R Infrastructure

  10. Lessons Learned • On-board architecture too complex • Integration of disparate technologies is the most difficult • Toughbook 18 on-board computer too big/not necessary • “Black box” data collection should be adequate • Need simpler crew display • SATCOM is a bridge too far at this time • Need fewer, smaller, more rugged antennas • Need a two prong approach • Proven technology on project vehicles • Cutting edge and developmental technology on a separate set of vehicles

  11. Antenna Farm

  12. On-Board Computer

  13. On-Board Computer

  14. What Worked Well? • COTS sensors, data bus and ECM • Most hardware was sufficiently robust • Data movement provided by Navy Distance Support • Wireless transmission of data off vehicle • FIPS 140-2 compliant 802.11 access point from 3ETI • Local Maintenance Server • Data collection and access at the temporary IDCE • Development of goals and metrics early in the project • With Dr Steven Haynes, School of Information Science and Technology, Penn State University • Continue to believe the “set-based” approach is best • Continue to believe the effort must begin at the platform

  15. Next Steps • Refine system design; eliminate redundancies; simplify • Incorporate reliable scan tool • Investigate VADS capability set • Incorporate IUID and RFID Capability • Field VAMMP • Field IETM • Incorporate Marine Corps approved COP • Stand up Integrated Data Collaborative Environment (IDCE) and PMLAV portal at NWSC Crane • Develop business rules

  17. SUMMARY / QUESTIONS It begins with accurate data DECIDE Collate and analyze data Makes chaotic information usable Paint accurate picture of capabilities Define Ao requirements Model and simulate readiness INTERPRET Remote SME/Maintainer collaboration EMSS Troubleshooting Tools Synthetic Instruments IETM RESPOND GCSS Autonomic Logistics Translate data to actionable information Enterprise visibility Initiate maintenance and logistics actions Provide goods and services S & R is a Cycle of Continuous Process Improvement EVALUATE Reliability Centered Maintenance More effective maintenance procedures Define content of “work packages” Identify needed engineering modifications Identify CBM+ capabilities We are taking an evolutionary, “bottom up” approach
