Perspectives and Case Studies on Effective Theatre Base Service Management

2. IBM’s understanding of the Defence requirement Challenges and issues faced within the Tactical Base environment include: Very limited management of Services within the Tactical Base – currently defined under the UK Generic Base Architecture (GBA) programme to include Power, Fuel, Water, Waste, Data (and Communications) and Structures Limited or no visibility of commodities and assets (including for example, Combat Supplies and equipment) from one end of logistic chain to the Patrol to Unit Level Operating Base Inability to provide proactive Combat Service Support, specifically re-supply and maintenance; Limited ability to identify gaps in service provision; Silos of service and systems information which are difficult to consolidate enrich and exploit Lack of configuration control and asset management. Hear how IBM and its partners are working with the UK Ministry of Defence to deliver the Land Open Systems Architecture (LOSA) to address the above and much more within the Tactical Base environment and beyond © 2012 IBM Corporation

Agenda Introductions Land Open Systems Architecture (LOSA) Operational Context Vignette 1 - End to End Platform Information Exploitation Vignette 2 - Core Base Service Management Vignette 3 - Theatre Network and Service Management Information Fabric Benefits of LOSA Questions © 2012 IBM Corporation

4. Definition of LOSA LOSA is an open, service based architecture for systems integration and interoperability in the land environment in order to deliver coherent and agile Force Elements. © 2012 IBM Corporation

9. Benefits/Characteristics of LOSA In this approach, we need LOSA to be: Scalable – Extensible vertically and horizontally. Modular – A design and implementation characteristic. Open – A commercial characteristic. – Open standards are those that are publicly available, controlled by a recognised non- commercial standards body, are royalty-free and encourage 3rd party participation. © 2012 IBM Corporation

12. Logistical Benefits Breakdown in the field – Identify and reduce the occurrence of failure in the field 3rd Party Warranty – Improve procurement process – Enhance and validate claim process Smarter Maintenance/Servicing – Improve process associated with asset maintenance Predictive Maintenance – Understand usage and predict maintenance Improve Fleet utilisation – Understand if the current fleet usage is the optimum fleet usage Reduce Supply Chain costs – Look to reduce cost in the supply chain Reduce Consumption Fuel/Power – Make savings in the consumption of inputs Spare Parts management – Improve how parts are procured, stored and delivered Reliability trials – Use the data to better qualify acceptance criteria for future assets © 2012 IBM Corporation

Assets have no knowledge of individual consumers; they respond to instructions to collect data from one or more sources, and publish it for use. Subscribers – including client applications, fusion algorithms, and filters – are shielded from the details of connecting to individual assets to retrieve information. All of the complexity is managed and contained within the bus. © 2012 IBM Corporation

19. Enabling commercial agility Standards Based Open Architecture – Key to achieving the agility necessary to deliver the capability required to counter evolving threats – Providing the technical agility required to prevent commercial lock in and enable: • IPR protection for commercial suppliers • Supply chain model agility • Operating Model agility – Provides for Cost Effective management of Operational Effectiveness Through Life © 2012 IBM Corporation

20. Lessons Identified Use of clear guiding principles (eg, openness, modularity, scalability, ownership). Use of simple architectural framework (ie, how things sit together, boundaries and responsibility). Rapid prototyping, experimentation and iteration. Promoting flexibility and adaptability of approach and encouraging sensible risk taking. Use of time blocks in implementation and ‘future proofing’. Building on previous investment.
