• User Manual Development: Oversee the development of Validated Manuscript Technical Manuals (Operator and Maintainer), ensuring they are technically accurate and validated through Soldier Touchpoints.
• Sustainment Analysis: Lead critical trade studies, including Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) and Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), to define the program’s long-term maintenance posture.
• Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM): Implement and manage a robust SCRM program to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in the COTS/NDI supply chain, ensuring hardware integrity and availability.
• Government Liaison: Act as the primary logistics point of contact to Government customer logistics counterparts, ensuring alignment with requirements, acquisition goals, and Army sustainment regulations and standards.
