Joint Total Asset VisibilityDefense Departments Automated Information Capability for Tracking Equipment, Personnel, and Supplies.DefinitionJTAV Is the capability to provide users with timely and accurate information on the location, movement, status, and identity of units, personnel, equipment, and supplies. Facilitates the capability to act upon that information to improve overall performance of DoD's logistics practices.7 Total Asset Visibility

OrdnanceMost requirements seen today include ordnance handling as a requirement is this really what is desired? Requirements should be tailored for what is anticipated e.g. maintenance parts, comsumables etc.Resource SponsorshipNo single resource sponsor responsible for integrating seabasing architectureMore Observations
