Modern military technology and systems are required to stay at the cutting edge of performance yet serve for increasingly longer life spans. The key to achieving successful sustainment outcomes relies on linking sustainment strategy, operations and execution to meet performance requirements. Having an effective sustainment plan is crucial in ensuring the technology and systems developed provide long-term benefits.
