Aviation Task Force Recommendation

 Field the Common Transitional System – Aviation (CTS-A) as Unit Level

Logistics System – Aviation (ULLS-A) Software Change Package (SCP) 6.

 Resource PM LIS to Transition, Finalize Development, Field, and Sustain

CTS-A as ULLS-A SCP 6.

 CSA Approved The Recommendation

 Army G3 Directed that Fielding Would Begin 1st Qtr FY 05

 What is ULLS-A(E)?
System Overview
• PC/Windows based multi-user software
developed in 160th SOAR
• Designed to operate at AVUM automates PLL
& TAMMS-A functions
• Incorporates a LAN to link functions of:
• Aircraft Logbook, Historical Records
• Supply, PC, QC, Work Orders,
• Phase Maintenance
• Decision Support System

 On-Going Initiatives

• Driven by requirements from the field and new

equipment fielding
• IETMs (Do not follow a Maintenance process)
• Wireless Networking and Portable Maintenance /
Logistics Device implementation
• UID integration into maintenance activity
• Published Digital Source Collector Interface Control
Document
• GCSS-A integration into the Enterprise Backbone
supported through XML data exchange
 Lessons Learned

• ULLS-A (E) outpacing Army IT Support Infrastructure

• Connectivity continues to be the biggest challenge in the field
• Local connections are usually doomed

• Training
• Greater Command Emphasis makes HUGE difference in successful ULLS-A (E)
implementation
• School House needs to be included very early

• Data elements and structure definition is a key element up front

• Need logical and consistent data exchange standard
• Must identify optimum data element requirements

• Legacy business process are not in line with today’s projects

• Data elements and structure definition is a key element up front

Need logical and consistent data exchange standard
Must identify optimum data element requirements
 Development Lessons

• ULLS-A Focused on the Air Vehicle

– UAS Air Vehicle is one piece of the system
– Numerous ancillary items impact UAS readiness
– ELAS UAV data capability limited
• Legacy software not sustainable (16 bit application)
• Lacks the depth of ULLS-A E in maintenance modules
• ULLS-UAS is focused on the entire system
– Flexible tracking of any item (Ground, Air, Missile, or Support System)
– Accommodate the changing mix of equipment
– Data structured toward the components
– Must accommodate the “transformation” issues
• New equipment and transfers of that equipment
• Modular nature
– Requirements never detailed enough

7
 Next Generation

Current System
– Current system limited by design constraints from legacy process and by “interim
solution” until GCSS-Army status
– Current design is adequate, however, increasing demands and unforeseen
operational uses/changes due to OEF/OIF and Army Transformation
– Current system is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain and adapt to emerging
needs
New Data Structure will yield:
– Next generation capabilities; restructured database and demonstrate a decision
support system that highlights the potential of extensibility of data across an Army
Enterprise
– A more flexible, scaleable and capable database to accommodate the way the Army
is operating now in OEF/OIF and Transformation to Modular Brigades
– Readily adaptable to use with system-of-systems (UASs), ground vehicles, air-
ground support equipment; platform independent
– Lessons learned in organizing database structures to handle disparate end item data
– Experience is leveraged to reduce development time
