The application of modern Computer-Assisted Systems Engineering (CASE) tools is proposed to address the development of a Navy logistics Warfare Systems Architecture and Engineering (WSA&E) concept. This technique has been applied to similarly complex and interrelated large-scale enterprises. APJ has demonstrated the viability of structured systems analysis utilizing case in the process of organizing the contents of MIL-STD-1388-1A and AR 700-127. This technique provides a structure for a fully determinate set of required operational functions which satisfy mission requirements as the basis for subsequent assessment, evaluation and trade-offs. Alternatives may be evaluated and prioritized. The result is an architecture for a rational Navy investment strategy in its logistics infrastructure operations and processes. The architecture provides the basis for evaluating the current POM/logistics structure in the light of requirements arising from current and projected Navy logistics missions. The Phase I effort has demonstrated the feasibility of the approach proposed, and results have been briefed to SPAWAR codes 31 and supporting activities.
