As hundreds of people access Interstate 565 West, many will notice a new billboard announcing Team LogiCore’s selection as a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) holder for the AMCOM Express Program. Selected in the Logistics Domain, the Team has the opportunity to provide a broad range of services to Team Redstone’s Program Executive Offices, program managers and functional organizations.
“We want the public to know about us, and how proud we are to serve the Solider through the AMCOM Express Program,” said Lee Eady, Director of Business Development. “LogiCore strives to provide superlative, performance-based services and is a steadfast source of expertise that AMCOM leaders can depend on to achieve mission success. Our billboard further enhances that message throughout the Tennessee Valley.”
The billboard is located near the westbound interchange of Interstate 565 and Madison Boulevard.

Foreign Military Sales (FMS) -- Supporting Peace and Stability
LogiCore provides services in support of the US Government’s sales of arms, equipment, and services to friendly foreign governments. For the Counter-Rocket Artillery Mortar (C-RAM) Program Office Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and International program, LogiCore is a mission-critical partner responsible for managing the overall Logistics FMS program.
For the initial acquisition, LogiCore receives and provides input for the Letter of Request (LOR) from foreign customers for materiel and services. This includes providing the Security Assistance Management Directorate (SAMD) with analyses and recommendations regarding FMS cases based on the purchasing countries’ infrastructure and military capabilities. Our experts oversee the logistics price and availability information provided by the Program Office, and participate in preparing the FMS Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA), Letters of Instructions (LOI), Leases, and other Security Assistance (SA)/FMS documents.
LogiCore manages scheduling and delivery of requested services and material, repair parts, new equipment fielding, and training support equipment. Our employees assess and facilitate FMS Transportation and Transportability plans, and evaluate transportation modes, networks, and transportation cost estimates for moving the FMS materiel worldwide.
For training, we evaluate programs and identify deficiencies and assess the training/interface between foreign liaison officers and the US Government to ensure continuous process improvements. We also provide analyses of training cost and cost comparisons of training methods and strategies.
After delivery, the purchased equipment must also be supported with repair parts. LogiCore expedites supply requisition process(es) and total warehouse operations and conducts logistics support analyses regarding usage and stock levels. Also, we monitor item inventory and receipt, storage, and parts issuance to reduce equipment downtime. We participate in the physical inventory process and perform extensive research concerning misdirected or lost items, as well as research documents and reference files for discrepancies reported by the purchasing country.
We develop logistics and sustainment briefings to provide situational awareness to the Program Management Office (PMO), Department of the Army (DA) and international audiences.
LogiCore’s subject matter experts provide a total-package approach to FMS from the procurement process through pricing to delivery of materiel, services, support equipment, technical data, and program support.

LogiCore Provides Core Depot Assessment (CDA) for OEM to Depot Transition Effort
For the Core Depot Assessment (CDA) of the AH-64D Block III Apache Longbow OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) to Depot Transition effort, LogiCore provides technical, logistical, cost, and data analysis. The CDA, as a part of a Business Case Analysis (BCA), will provide the Apache Program Management Office (PMO) the necessary data to establish repair capabilities at key depot facilities.
ITT-AES, who is the prime, and LogiCore are leveraging Depot Level Repairable (DLR) maintenance and repair hours from the legacy fleet (AH-64A, AH-64D BLI-BLII) and using this information to build accurate maintenance cost and repair data. In addition, LogiCore is working with OEMs to gather accurate Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) and Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) data to assist in determining the number of Direct Labor Hours (DLH) that will be required to repair/overhaul these parts at depot facilities. To accomplish this effort, LogiCore is working with ITT-AES, depot facilities, and OEMs to ensure the data is accurate and all methodologies used meet DoD requirements and Army Regulations.
CDAs are currently being conducted on:
The process includes, but is not limited to, the following tasks:

CDAs are currently being conducted on:
- AH-64D BLIII DLRs
- AH-64 Sensors (TADS, MTADS, PNVS)
- Fire Control Radar (FCR) / Radio Frequency Interferometer (RFI)
The process includes, but is not limited to, the following tasks:
- Develop methodology and tools for gathering, organizing, and storing OEM/Depot maintenance parts data
- Perform analysis of subsystems to determine which subsystems will be included within the CDA
- Gather, organize, and perform analysis of AH-64D DLR parts data and those subsystems determined for inclusion in the CDA
- Obtain MTBF and MTTR from OEMs such as Lockheed Martin and Boeing
- Obtain estimates from depot facilities (Tobyhanna, Letterkenny, Corpus Christi) on DLH
- Perform analysis on gathered OEM and Depot data and organize data using previously-determined methodology and tools
- Evaluate data for accuracy, completeness, and determine where legacy fleet data must be incorporated
- Develop specific reports for each area being studied within the CDA (AH-64D BLIII, Fire Control Radar, etc.)
- Apply DoD methodology and approved formulas to gathered data to develop Depot Maintenance Man Hours requirements
