Summary/Abstract |
The persistence of the sensor in question is to large degree of function of the platform's capabilities and the many cases, the desire for cost effectiveness has lead to modular architectures allowing multiple different payloads to be installed from mission to mission and in other cases, upgrades over the extended lifetime of the platform.

Summary/Abstract |
Performance based logistics (PBL) have been underpinning a growing number of US weapon systems programmes: indeed it has become, if anything, the default option building upon a trend that began in the early 90s illustrated by the LOGCAP programmes, which were awarded to Kollogg, Brown and Toot in the late 1990s. Based on the initial performance, the US DoD established it as the preferred solution for the procurement of support for its weapon systems in 2001.

Summary/Abstract |
The US army continues its transition from operations in Afghanistan and an acquisition strategy designed to provide immediate benefit for the current fight. Nevertheless, hard learned lessons remain at the heat of future procurement, which recalls lessons learned, always acknowledged but perhaps more publicity stated than ever before.
