>[...]the Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS) [...] is integral to maintaining and operating F-35s,” says Lockheed Martin in accompanying literature. “It is a system-of-systems approach to fleet management that connects maintenance, supply chain and sustainment information into a single management tool to support all F-35 operations.”
>A big part of ALIS is assisting ground technicians in identifying problems with the aircraft, including preventative actions, and also pushing out software fixes where necessary.
>Normal practice will see a maintainer download the F-35’s data using a rugged laptop, to be stored in a centralised server located at each squadron, and then pushed to a centralised location known as a Central Point of Entry (CPE).
>This data is then forwarded further to Lockheed Martin’s Autonomic Logistics Operating Unit (ALOU) in Fort Worth, Texas, where all F-35 data is stored.
What could ever go wrong :D
