Tactical Sustainment and Secure Lifecycle Management

PMM's sustainment practice delivers comprehensive secure lifecycle logistics for the Department of War's most critical weapon systems and programs. From initial Integrated Logistics Support planning through depot-level sustainment and eventual disposition, we ensure mission systems remain operationally available, technically current, and fully supported throughout their service lives.

Capabilities

Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) Planning

PMM develops comprehensive ILS plans covering all 10 logistics elements: maintenance planning, supply support, support equipment, technical data, training, computer resources, facilities, packaging, transportation, and design interface.

Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM)

End-to-end supply chain analysis, counterfeit component mitigation, vendor qualification, and risk-informed sourcing strategies that protect supply chain integrity for sensitive programs.

Configuration Management and Technical Data

Disciplined configuration identification, control, status accounting, and audit processes that maintain the technical baseline and ensure data rights are preserved across the lifecycle.

Lifecycle Cost Analysis and Sustainment Engineering

Rigorous should-cost modeling, total ownership cost analysis, and reliability-centered maintenance strategies that optimize sustainment investment and extend system service life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Integrated Logistics Support (ILS)?

ILS is the structured approach ensuring a system remains supportable throughout its operational life, encompassing maintenance planning, supply support, technical data packages, training, and personnel requirements.

What is lifecycle management for federal systems?

Federal system lifecycle management covers acquisition, deployment, sustainment, and disposal, with PMM supporting each phase through configuration management, SCRM, and depot activation planning.

Does PMM support supply chain risk management?

Yes. PMM implements SCRM frameworks aligned with NIST SP 800-161 and DoW policies to mitigate counterfeit parts, sole-source dependencies, and foreign ownership concerns.
