Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS)
The Coast Guard is in the initial stages of acquiring
sUAS to be placed
on the NSCs and OPCs. One of the initial planning documents used for
the acquisition is the Integrated Logistics Support Plan (ILSP). The
ILSP serves as the master logistics planning document that describes
necessary logistic activities, assigns responsibility for those activities,
and establishes a schedule for completion.
The
Human Systems Integration team is providing input into the ILSP to include:
- Detailed guidance for the training development plan
including market research for onboard and embedded training,
- Requirements for factory and familiarization training
and initial support and training,
- Analysis to ensure the sUAS is manned by the necessary
personnel consistent with mission performance, human
performance, affordability, and safety and survivability
(e.g., Watch Quarter Station Billet, general emergencies,
general quarters), and
- Ensuring shore support manpower is sufficient to
complete organizational and/or depot level maintenance in
the allocated time.
