HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!

A special message from Miranda Bouldin

The New Year is here, and we are looking forward to new opportunities and an even better 2010!

LogiCore accomplished two significant achievements that promise to have a positive impact in 2010 and beyond:

• In May, the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) Expedited Professional and Engineering Support Services (EXPRESS) awarded LogiCore a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) in the Logistics domain. The AMCOM EXPRESS Program allows Team Redstone to procure needed services quickly.
  
• In November, we received a subcontract to provide engineering and technical support for command, control, communications, computers and intelligence (C4I) to the US Army Electronic Proving Ground (EPG). We will be supporting prime contractor ManTech International Corporation under the 5-year, $286 million award.

These successes provide us more opportunities to provide second-to-none services in support of the Warfighter and other Government agencies. We are also planning to be very involved in the community, from sponsoring and participating in industry conferences and other activities, to supporting local institutions and charities.

Our successes are possible through our customers who give LogiCore the honor and privilege of working with them, and the hard work and dedication of our employees, who ensure our customers receive superlative services. I never take you for granted, and appreciate all you do.

Have a safe and happy New Year!

A Special Christmas Message from Miranda Bouldin

The holiday season is upon us and, like many, I’m very busy shopping for gifts and making arrangements for the holidays. I’m looking forward to spending time with my family and friends, and hope you are also enjoying the season.

Please take a moment with me to remember LogiCore employees and all service members who are in Iraq and stationed elsewhere around the world, as they are away from their loved ones defending democracy and the United States’ national interests. At LogiCore, we are very proud of our service men and women, and appreciate the opportunity to provide support to them to help ensure their missions are successful.

It’s been a very eventful and rewarding year for LogiCore, and I want to thank everyone for all their hard work and dedication in making this year successful. I’d also like to express a special welcome to those who are joining LogiCore in support of the US Army Electronic Proving Ground (EPG). Thank you for joining our team!

We also appreciate our customers very much, and thank them for the privilege of working with them in support of the Warfighter.

Have a safe and very Merry Christmas!

LogiCore Supports Redstone's MOPP Shop

Located at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, the Maintenance Operations Procedures and Prototype (MOPP) Facility, also known as the MOPP Shop, concentrates on modifying, updating, and resetting missile systems, but also develops actionable solutions in other critical areas. For example, the Redstone Arsenal MOPP Facility was instrumental in adapting the Army Avenger air defense system’s M3P .50 caliber machine gun for use on the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopters in Iraq and Afghanistan. This substitution was needed because the previous OH-58D machine gun was very unreliable and inadequate, unsuitable for the Kiowa helicopters’ scouting missions.

The MOPP Facility makes it possible for soldiers to troubleshoot and repair missile components in the field, which greatly increases missile availability and reduces cost. LogiCore employees, along with other government and contractors, evaluate and repair the Automated Test Equipment (ATE) as part of the U.S. Army Test Program Set (TPS) used in the field to troubleshoot and repair missile components. The TPS consists of the particular software, hardware, and documentation that are used with computer controlled test equipment to detect and isolate failures within a unit under test.

Typically located in shelter vans, ATE such as Integrated Family of Test Equipment (IFTE) are shipped to Redstone Arsenal from around the world, and our employees conduct numerous tests of the automated test equipment, which is used in the maintenance and support of Army materiel and for conducting maintenance and repair. The shelters are then shipped back to the gaining unit and our employees perform on-site logistics and maintenance support at the unit location to ensure 100 percent operational availability.

“LogiCore plays an important role in supporting the Warfighter and we are thankful for the opportunity to demonstrate the full extent of our knowledge and expertise in supporting the MOPP Facility, as well as our in-depth understanding of the customer needs and how to resolve them,” said Miguel Delgadillo, an Analyst for LogiCore.

LogiCore Salutes America's Veterans

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, an armistice was signed which ended the fighting in World War I. Although the official end of the war occurred seven months later with the Treaty of Versailles, what became known as Veterans Day was observed November 11 in honor of the armistice signing. Veterans Day honors American veterans of all wars.

LogiCore appreciates America’s veterans and supports the U.S. Armed Forces, service members and their families around the globe.

“On Veterans Day, we honor America’s veterans and express our thanks for their patriotism and willingness to serve and sacrifice for our country,” said Lee Eady, director of Business Development and a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel. “The lessons our Veterans teach us are that we must never take our freedom for granted, and must diligently protect it without compromise. I am particularly proud to work with LogiCore as it fulfills its mission of providing unmatched services to our Veterans and future Veterans.”

Maintaining the Air Force Tactical Automated Security System (TASS)

In order to protect critical areas such as fixed site air bases, semi-permanent Forward Operating Bases (FOBs), and mobile tactical deployments, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) needs to be able to sense intruders and to assess situations. To provide this force protection capability, USAF currently employs a base personnel intrusion detection and surveillance system called the Tactical Automated Security System (TASS) at its CONUS and overseas bases.

When the U.S. Army developed its Counter-Rocket, Artillery and Mortar (C-RAM) Program to counter insurgent threats in Iraq, it leveraged the USAF TASS capabilities. The C-RAM PMO consulted with the USAF Program Manager on TASS functionality, and refined its capability as part of C-RAM’s System of Systems (SoS) to provide a core Integrated Base Defense System of Systems (IBDSoS) capability at selected FOBs in Iraq.

LogiCore Corporation, a systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA) contractor, provides TASS Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) to C-RAM’s PMO Logistics Management Division (LMD). For example, Mr. Will Palfrey, a retired USAF Logistics Plans and Programs Officer, is the TASS Product Manager. He currently manages several line items of equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He is responsible for supervising the TASS supply chain, providing vital theater wartime equipment that protects Soldiers in wartime.

LogiCore experts provide system reliability and maintainability solutions in managing the entire supply chain and maintain end-to-end visibility including obsolescence management. LogiCore has provided effective and efficient supply chain management and CLS for the last three years resulting in providing the Warfighter with high-performing combat capabilities on time and within contracted cost.

“Our goal is to optimize material requirements, spares, inventory, on-demand parts, and business processes and pursue continuous process improvements to increase Warfighter readiness,” said Palfrey. The actions are increasing readiness for the C-RAM PMO as the SoS has achieved greater than 95 percent operational readiness in a wartime environment that has provided almost 2,000 localized warnings of incoming attacks.

CIWS – Providing Protection On Land and At Sea

An incoming missile or artillery poses a great threat to a military unit, both on land and at sea. The military must have a mechanism for identifying and destroying these hazards. LPWS obliterates incoming missiles in the air before they reach their targets.

Based on the original Close In Weapon System (CIWS), the Land-based Phalanx Weapon System (LPWS) provides the capabilities of the original CIWS in a more mobile form, and is operated by Joint Army/Navy Intercept Batteries in Iraq.

LogiCore Subject Matter Experts provide Integrated Logistics Support to the military for both LPWS and CIWS. Our services range from acting as Field Support Representatives and providing services, to resolving technical and logistical issues for the military in order to maintain operational readiness. Our ability to locate required parts, keep spares and replacement parts stocked at the appropriate levels, and to provide technical support directly impacts the LPWS’ operational capability to defend our Warfighters and their equipment against threats.

LogiCore relies on employees such as John Garrity, a retired Chief Petty Officer with 20 years of Navy experience, to apply his extensive knowledge and skill with CIWS to provide expertise in maintaining the LPWS. The support provided directly and indirectly assists the Joint Intercept Batteries in Iraq, as well as troops involved in State-side training. Support includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Researched and provided a recommendation to make an in-theater LPWS fully mission capable using an existing part, thus eliminating the wait time needed to receive other parts and allowing the LPWS to become mission-capable and protect its assigned area
  
• Researched and provided recommendations on the required equipment and procedures to perform a depot-level (on-site) repair to an LPWS in Iraq. By eliminating the need to ship the LPWS to the United States for repair and back to Iraq, we increased the operational readiness of the unit and provided greater flexibility to the Warfighter
  
• Coordinated the delivery of the first Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) LPWS Operator and Field Maintenance Manuals to provide the Warfighter with information needed to repair this critical equipment in theater
  
• Developed procedures to reduce generators burning excess fuel due to running under their load capacities. This greatly improved overall performance as well as efficiency
  
• Conducted the inspection of and ensured the usage of the correct ammunition for Mission Readiness Live Fire Exercises to prevent waste and protect personnel from dangers associated with incorrect ammunition usage
  
• Assisted in developing the LPWS operator curriculum used to train equipment operators
  
• Assisted in the delivering of permanent LPWSs to a training command location. Permanent LPWSs at the training sites reduced a significant number of training days that are normally lost due to transportation of an LPWS to multiple training sites
  
• Performed as a Field Service Representative during Mission Readiness Exercises (MREs) while providing preventative and corrective maintenance and ensuring responsive logistics at the right time and location. Our successful performance of this mission resulted in all LPWSs being fully operational throughout the exercises

"LPWS is a pivotal component in protecting U.S. and allied forces and civilians, and I am proud to work with LogiCore and the Navy in ensuring LPWSs are ready at a moment's notice to protect lives," Mr. Garrity said.

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:

• AH-64D BLIII DLRs
• AH-64 Sensors (TADS, MTADS, PNVS)
• Fire Control Radar (FCR) / Radio Frequency Interferometer (RFI)

Once completed, these CDAs will be used as a foundation for the development of a BCA, Supportability Strategies, a Milestone C Decision, and Bundling Analyses.

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

Our technical approach will provide quantifiable data to the Apache PMO through the analysis of available parts data, maintenance data, and the application of technical experience and quality assurance measures. The actionable solutions will enable the Apache PMO to make sound decisions regarding the development of maintenance capabilities within existing depot facilities, thereby greatly improving the depot’s ability to support the Warfighter.
