This standard implements the Logistic Support Analysis (LSA) guidelines and requirements established by Department of Defense (DOD) Instruction 5000.2, Major System Acquisition Procedures and supersedes MIL-STD-1561, 17 Nov 84, Uniform DOD Provisioning Procedures. The goal of this standard is a single, uniform approach by the Military Services for conducting those activities necessary to:
- cause supportability requirements to be an integral part of system requirements and design
- define support requirements that are optimally related to the design and to each other
- define the required support during the operational phase
- prepare attendant data products
LSA is the selective application of scientific and engineering efforts undertaken during the acquisition process, as part of the system engineering and design process, to assist in complying with supportability and other Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) objectives through the use on an iterative process of definition, synthesis, trade-off, test, and evaluation. This standard provides general requirements and descriptions of tasks which, when performed in a logical and iterative nature, comprise the LSA process. The tasks are structured for maximum flexibility in their application. In addition to the general requirements and task description sections, this standard contains an application guidance appendix which provides rationale for the selection and tailoring of the tasks to meet program objectives in a cost effective manner.
