Problem Statement:

As all branches of the DoD grapple with the need to sustain both legacy and new platforms in contested environments, the ability to proactively identify and prioritize current and future failures will be a key enabler of future sustainment.  The DoD must balance modernizing fleets with maintaining legacy fleets in a flat budgetary constrained environment and reduced operations and maintenance funding. It is likely that in this budget environment the Army will have to rely on legacy fleets well into the future. The challenge is maintaining readiness levels with aging vehicles. The Army must also ensure that as new, more complex, capabilities are fielded, preventive/predictive maintenance tools are available to assist in maintaining operational readiness. Regarding modernized vehicles, the systems are so complex and/or some of the vehicle fault codes are proprietary to the OEM.
