Training and Training Support
Training and training support includes all the considerations necessary to provide Service, Defence civilian, and contractor personnel with the skills necessary to:

  •  Acquire,
  •  Operate,
  •  Support, and
  •  Dispose of a materiel system.

What else is involved ?

  •  Training the client / operator / user
  •  Outputs from the design team (to training)
  •  Challenges?
  •  Ownership of the IP (training package)

 

A Training Concept
The training will result in a number of personnel that are capable of providing operator and maintainer training, and a number of personnel that are qualified to either operate or maintain the Capability. In general, the courses are required to cover the user, crew and maintainer requirements to enable the crews to transition from the current capability to the new Capability, and qualified maintainers to perform maintenance tasks in accordance with the maintenance concept

In accordance with this concept, the Contractor’s responsibilities include:

  • preparation for, and delivery of operator instructor training;
  • preparation for, and delivery of maintainer instructor training;
  • provision of assistance/supervision during training course conducted by trainee  instructors; and
  • delivery of data items.

 

Technical Data Support

Technical Data Support
Technical data to be maintained includes:

  • all types of specifications & standards
  • engineering drawings
  • instructions, reports, manuals, tabular data, test results
  • software documentation, used in the development, production, in-service operation and logistics support (such as maintenance, provisioning, codification, testing and modification)
  • training materials
  • disposal of a materiel system.

Data compatibility is very important in Government and Defence contracts so the S1000D standard was developed:
The ASD S1000D standard is an internationally recognised specification for the  production and procurement of technical publications for Defence, Aerospace and capital-intensive equipment.

Personnel Support

Personnel Support

Personnel is the identification and provisioning of:

  • Service Personnel
  • Defence, civilian and
  • contractor personnel with:
    The rank, classification and skills necessary to acquire, install, test, train, operate and support a materiel system throughout its life cycle

In Service Personnel Support includes:

  • Continuous development, identification and provisioning of personnel to support the capability
  • HR management
  • Recruiting
  • Training / re training
  •  Transfer, posting, replacement

Facility Support

Facility Support

Facilities includes considerations necessary to establish:

  •  Permanent and semi-permanent capital works
  •  Associated machinery and
  •  Plant to operate and support a materiel system throughout its life cycle

In Service Facility management includes:

  •  Ongoing capital works (LOT of capability)
  •  Training, storage and maintenance facilities
  •  Facilities upgrades
  •  Forecasting and scheduling resources and construction

Facilities support consists of Garaging Arrangements, Workshop Facilities, Operational Support Facilities and Training Facilities:

  • Garaging Arrangements. Vehicles may be garaged in extant vehicle hangar facilities. These generally consist of protection from rain and shade and may include open mesh cages for equipment storage and standard 240v power.
    Other locations may utilise vehicle hangars. Garaging for vehicles whilst deployed may be non-existent or ad-hoc.
  • Workshop Facilities. Workshop facilities may be of various designs and ages. The facility generally has the tooling and sufficient fixed and portable MHE to support vehicles of similar size, not including S&TE.
  • Operational Support Facilities. Whilst not deployed, vehicles will generally have access to fuel and oil in operational support facilities.
  • Training Facilities. Training facilities may include classrooms and practical practise areas. Classrooms may be affected should large or operational training aids be required. This would be examined following identification of the need for the specific aid.

Facility and Asset Management

Facility and Asset Management

Facility, Asset and Fleet Management are very similar in many ways to Integrated Logistic Support (ILS).

They have the same sub functions as ILS:

  •  Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM)
  •  Failure Modes, Effects & Criticality Analysis (FMECA) (done during design)
  •  Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA) (done after design to determine maintenance tasks)
  •  Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM)
  •  Level Of Repair Analysis (LORA)
  •  Verification and Validation (V&V)
  •  Life Cycle Costing Analysis (LCCA)

Consider a ship or sub marine, which is essentially a building on / in a hull, it constitutes many common systems that require the same analysis and support that any facility or equipment might need:

Electrical

  • Electrical Generation systems
  • Electrical Distribution systems
  • Lighting systems
  • Emergency Lighting systems
  • Backup power systems / UPS / batteries

Electronic systems

  • Communication systems
  • Electronic Control systems
  • Information systems

Water

  • Water purification / desalination
  • Water storage / supply
  • Hot water production and storage
  • Water distribution / plumbing
  • Fire fighting system

Waste water

  • Grey water system / recyclable / alternate use
    • Distribution, treatment and storage
  • Black water system / Sewage
    • Distribution, treatment and storage

Power Plant / Engine

  • Engine mechanics
  • Fuel system
  • Intake air filtering system
  • Exhaust system
  • Lubrication system
  • Hydraulic system
  • Cooling system

Transmission

  • Gearbox
  • Drive shafts
  • Output drive (propeller)

Stowage

  • Tanks (fuel / water / supplies / cargo)
  • Storage compartments and shelving (supplies, cargo, support equipment)

Structure

  • Hull / frame
  • Walls
  • Flooring
  • Roof

Ancillary equipment

  • Support boats / inflatables
  • Lifting equipment
  • Winches
  • Weaponry

Ancillary Support equipment

  • Repair workshops
  • Food preparation, handling and cooking equipment.

Safety systems

  • Fire fighting system
  • Smoke / gas detection
  • Emergency escape systems –
    • slides / ladders / life boats
  • Life preserving systems
    • Life vests, Emergency Breathing apparatus, Defibrillators

The majority of the above also apply to aircraft and to many vehicle systems and of course to land based buildings.

Thus the same integrated logistic support techniques can be applied to non military equipment and facilities with the same benefits in terms of minimising down time and through life costs while maximising availability and performance.

Computer Support
Computer support encompasses the identification, acquisition and management of computing hardware, firmware, software, documentation and other resources necessary to provide data processing or computer support to the operational, maintenance, supply, training and administrative requirements of a materiel system.

Reliability, Availability, Maintainability (RAM)

RAM is the assessment of the inherent reliability of an item or system,

  • Reliability: how long it can be expected to operated before failure, based on the individual components from which it is comprised
  • Availability: its expected or required availability for operations, and
  • Maintainability: the maintenance time and complexity of repair of individual items,

which are then used to determine redundancy requirements, equipment quantity and maintenance resources required.
