The ATLAS technology will provide the Army with new levels of maintenance organization asset and capacity visibility and will help users analyze and simulate performance based upon observed or anticipated conditions. This work will leverage and extend previous technologies developed by KBSI and KBSI's extensive model library for wheeled vehicles, tracked vehicles, and aircraft maintenance process simulation. Similar technologies have been demonstrated and field tested at Ft. Hood, Ft. Campbell Texas, Anniston Army Depot, and the Corpus Christi Army Depot with great success.

The final product of this project will be a unified modeling and experimentation framework that will allow decision-makers to assess and plan current and future combat systems maintenance. The ATLAS technology will greatly aid the Army in meeting its stated goal of a 90% AO (Operation Availability) and a 20% TOCR (Total Ownership Cost Reduction) for existing weapon systems and to establish effective sustainment specifications for performance- based logistics support.
