Log.Sec's Military Systems Group (MSG) provides weapon system cradle-to-grave
Logistics & Engineering support. From the development of performance
specifications to the sustainment of fielded systems, Log.Sec
is there supporting the Warfighter. We focus the bulk of our
efforts in three phases of a weapon system's lifecycle. These
include the Acquisition, Test & Evaluation and Sustainment phases.
The Acquisition phase of weapon system development is the period
of time during the system's life-cycle where the system becomes
an idea, is designed and developed by industry, and is procured
by the Government. The Test & Evaluation phase is the period
of time during the system's life-cycle were the system is tested
to ensure that the designed system meets its performance, reliability,
availability, and maintainability requirements. The Sustainment
phase is the period of time during the system's life-cycle when
the system is fielded, the Warfighter is trained in its use
and maintenance, and when the contractor may provide field maintenance
support.

Log.Sec's Life Cycle Logistics Expertise
Acquisition Logistics
One of Log.Sec's most unique capabilities is our industry-leading expertise in the implementation of Performance Based Logistics (PBL) on military weapon systems. PBL is a strategy exercised by DoD Weapon System Managers, Program/Product Managers, and Industry OEMs & System Integrators to achieve or exceed Warfighter performance metrics, e.g. Operational Availability (AO) or Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), while reducing Total Ownership Cost (TOC) and Logistics Footprint. Log.Sec's Business Case Analysis (BCA) and logistics modeling processes determine the optimum system design and sustainment strategy from among feasible alternatives and focuses logistics performance responsibility on a Product Support Integrator (PSI).
Log.Sec is involved, from the very early stages of weapon system design, defining design metrics to improve reliability, increase availability and reduce the weapon system's logistics footprint. In order to successfully achieve this optimization, Log.Sec uses our expert knowledge of Army organic logistics, personnel and financial systems, commercial logistics processes, contractors on the battlefield issues, and logistics transformation as considerations in all our PBL efforts.
Test and Evaluation
Log.Sec is also heavily involved in the Test & Evaluation (T&E) of US Army weapon systems. As a prominent contractor at the Aberdeen Test Center (ATC), one of the Department of Defense's (DoD) foremost test and training ranges, supporting both military and commercial material developers. In this capacity, Log.Sec supports the testing and data collection efforts for a broad spectrum of equipment throughout the life cycle, from concept through deployment. Log.Sec's involvement in ATC's test and evaluation process includes:
- Instrumentation Design and Automotive Testing
- Test Preparation and Operation of Test Items
- Data Collection and Analysis Support
- Laboratory Testing Support of Military Technologies and Equipment
- Installation, Set-Up, Alignment, Verification, Operation, and Repair of Instrumentation Equipment
- Artillery, Ammunition, Weapons-Related Equipment, Armor, Fire Control Systems, and Weapons Test Preparation
- Exterior and Interior Fiber-Optic Installation
- Vehicle Performance Support
- Test Item Maintenance
- Environmental Chambers Operation and Maintenance
- Range Preparation and Warehouse Support
- Help desk/computer operations support
Sustainment Logistics
Log.Sec furthermore has a significant role providing logistical support during the weapons system's sustainment phase. Log.Sec personnel provide materiel fielding, New Equipment Training (NET), field support maintenance, configuration management, supply/property book management, and weapons system retirement services. Our work has been critical to the success of weapon systems, especially considering the military's need to stretch dollars further in order to support overseas conflicts. Log.Sec employees have enabled our military to optimize weapon system performance and allocate resources to other mission-critical needs.
