requirement needed to transfer assets between nodes for military operations, including asset transfers (air vehicle and loose inventory), baseline transfers along with the asset, and technical records transfers along with the asset. Workflow management functionality should pre- pare deployments and imports of assets from MOBs to FOBs and inversely from FOBs to MOBs. When assets are trans- ferred, baseline updates and a portion of their technical records are automatically transferred. Conversely, bases can view the batch number their location is us- ing and request an update from MOB or CEA.
2. TECHNICAL RECORDS REPOSITORY
In situations where technical records for an asset are created in multiple internal or external systems, command or central maintenance management requires an aggregated view of an asset’s technical records. A Technical Records Repository (TRR) should enable planners, reliabil- ity departments and others to view the full set of historical records for main- tenance performed and usage accrued on an aircraft or component. Bases that perform maintenance can keep the cen- tral TRR up-to-date by sending techni- cal record updates through the built-in workflow manager feature.
3. INTEGRATION WITH CORE MAINTENANCE SYSTEM
This disconnected operations function- ality should be fully integrated into core maintenance management software, eliminating the need for data duplica- tion. This integration delivers a com- plete spectrum of military equipment maintenance management in a single integrated business platform.
Only when these criteria are met, can military organisations execute discon- nected operations safe in the knowledge that commanders, maintenance centres and frontline personnel have a consis- tent picture of the status of the equip- ment at their disposal. When the criti- cal moment of service arises to deploy a military asset in a disconnected setting, it’s the underlying software architec- ture that can be the difference between mission success and failure. ■
