Securing your future In-theatre logistics solution Transforming operational logistics into power
From support services BATTLESPACE OPERATIONAL < Delivering capacity availability > HUMS - MUST - CELINE to collaborative In-theatre logistics is a crucial part of military operations today. With battlespace digitisation, any type of information can be transmitted to anybody anywhere and at any time. As part of a progressive and carefully managed transition to a complete network-centric logistics capability, Thales offers a range of solutions including embedded monitoring systems and the provision of remote services and support in the theatre of operations. These open-ended solutions are based on a secure, mobile, service-oriented architecture and provide an innovative response to the requirements of logistics units in terms of joint forces integration, collaboration and interoperability. Intelligence in embedded logistics Thales embedded monitoring systems incorporate sophisticated components and algorithms developed both commercially and by the research community, which are then tailored to the specific constraints of the military environment. They are delivered as intelligent logistics solutions fully integrated into any type of platform or weapon system. These monitoring systems track and record logistics requirements and provide commanders and supply units with the information they need, when they need it. The data collected constitutes a unique knowledge base on the status of equipment in the field and provides a solid baseline for results-based availability agreements. MUST: advanced technology to support logistics personnel The MUST solution developed by Thales provides universal, secure access to mobile services and enhanced value at the front end of the logistic support chain. The tool provides easy access to a range of services centred on operational processes. Built around a software core designed for easy insertion of future technologies, MUST also offers numerous extensions for RFID applications, satellitebased geolocation and access to remote services over IP. S-WiFi and S-WiMAX links enable secure connections with the CELINE network.
BACK BASE INDUSTRIAL BACK BASE < Sustaining deployed ressources > APPLICATIONS - SERVICES network-centric solutions CELINE for networked logistics Intelligent logistics applications A trusted partner in armed forces support Weapon systems are increasingly reliant on a diverse range of COTS-based information and communication products and technologies. As a result, the need to stay abreast of changes in these products and technologies is now an operational requirement. Thales developed the CELINE service-oriented architecture specifically for web-based collaboration over secure wireless networks (S-WiFi/ S-WiMAX). With CELINE, users of proprietary information systems can work together seamlessly in a secure collaborative environment. Based extensively on opensource components, CELINE provides an ideal response to the need to manage logistical requirements for joint, multinational operations. This networked logistics environment is the key to effective management of operational capability and force readiness. Managing the risks associated with end-to-end logistics processes hinges on just-in-time access to information and extensive use of simulation tools. Thales logistics management tools incorporate the advanced mathematical models needed to adapt constantly and dynamically to the operational situation as it unfolds in the theatre. The ability to acquire and distribute logistical information within a collaborative workspace shared by all players in the operational logistics chain opens up new opportunities for performance-based logistics management and outsourcing of selected tasks. With the advanced information infrastructure developed by Thales, logistics personnel have access to flexible, service-oriented solutions with contractual commitments to service quality, instead of reasoning in terms of time-to-repair. Thales's secure, end-to-end infrastructure makes the right resources available to the forces in the right place at the right time. It supports both static management of equipment complements and dynamic management of logistical resources, leveraging the shared data environment to achieve operational availability targets at lowest cost.
