General Dynamics Land Systems Tallahassee Operations Logistics
General Dynamics Land Systems Tallahassee Operations Logistics Unique features of the GDLS SINCGARS support a wide range of maintenance scenarios while minimizing support cost. These features include:
Judicious use of low cost Best Commercial Practice (BCP) components
Built-In Test (BIT)
Fault Isolation to readily accessable plug-in modules.
Field reliability of greater than 6 times the specified requirement combined with low spares cost has led the U.S Army to conclude that it is more economical to replace rather than repair GDLS SINCGARS circuit cards. These same features provide new buyers of GDLS SINCGARS with reduced support cost by significantly lowering current requirements for intermediate level maintenance support equipment and by eliminating requirements for depot level repair.The GDLS design philosophy which places DTUPC and associated acquisition cost reduction, as well as an integrated logistic support approach to reduce support costs on an equal par with system performance parameters, ensures that each product design satisfies that customer’s unique operational as well as cost of ownership requirements.
