Welcome to the U.S. Military’s Not-So-New Technology Troubles
Condition-based maintenance needs to be carefully monitored with a vigilant eye to both ensure safe and effective functionality and reduce costs.
Imagine that the engine rotations on an Abrams main battle tank experience a potentially critical malfunction while conducting a high risk-combat mission or that a fighter jet operates with electronic systems nearing a point of operational failure. How can a person identify these impediments or potential problems and quickly correct them?
Repair procedures, sustainment details and key parameters of what’s called condition-based maintenance all need to be carefully monitored with a vigilant eye to both ensure safe and effective functionality and reduce costs. Industry and the military services are increasingly looking to artificial-intelligence-enabled “augmented reality” technology to perform these critical functions to lower costs and massively streamline these essent

Staff Sgt. Taylor Mogford, 433rd Logistics Readiness Squadron individual protective equipment supervisor, here, and his team presented their ideas for revamping logistics training at the virtual 2021 Logistics Officer Association Symposium, April 2.

According to LOA Symposium website, Aether Sprint is a platform for logistics Airmen (maintenance, munitions, and logistics readiness) to have a voice and solve day-to-day issues with Air Force-wide impacts.
While deployed in 2020, Mogford assembled a team of Reserve and active-duty members who chose to solve the topic of “Reduction of waste and time for training and certification for the Logistic Airman.”
