The Logistics Support Analysis Record (LSAR), as designed herein, is intentionally structured to accommodate the maximum range of data potentially required by all services and all Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) element functional areas, This approach permits standardization of field lengths and data element definitions (DED), and establishes “one face to industry” for government required LSAR data.

This standard is based on the joint efforts of the military services and the Federal Aviation Administration with assistance from private industry. The goal of this standard is to establish uniform requirements for development and delivery of LSA Record (LSAR) data. The LSA documentation, including LSAR data, is generated as a result of performing any or all of the analyses specified in MIL-STD-1388-1, Logistic Support Analysis (LSA). The requirements of this standard are applicable to major and less than major system/equipment acquisition programs, major modification programs, and applicable research and development projects.

LSA documentation must be tailored to each acquisition program and life cycle phase. The tailoring of LSAR data should be consistent with the level and depth of LSA performed in accordance with (IAW) MIL-STD-1388-1 as required to readiness and affordability of the acquisition program in accordance with Department of DOD Directive (DODD) 5000.39. An application guidance appendix (appendix D) is included herein to provide guidance on tailoring of LSAR data requirements to meet individual program objectives in a cost-effective manner. The general requirements of this standard also require completion of LSAR data selection sheets (DD Form 1949-1) to identify specific data for each program in order to prevent indiscriminate blanket applications of the data requirements.
