As part of the AFLCMC/GB Business and Enterprise Systems Directorate (BES), the Logistics Management Data Bank (LMDB) is comprised of two sub-systems: Automated Budget Compilation System (ABCS) and Logistics Reassignment (LR). ABCS collects, organizes and integrates data from AF legacy systems to provide Financial Management reports for the Secretary of the AF (SAF). ABCS provides a system to adjust and track spares requirements regarding buy and repair budgets. Termination actions are provided a reason code and reports are provided.

The Air Force Distribution Standard System (AF DSS) is an Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) directed shipping/receiving/storing system mandated to provide Positive Inventory Control (PIC) of all AF-owned Nuclear Weapons Related Material (NWRM) processed at the Depot level. AF DSS passes critical financial and logistical (item management) data to D035K (Wholesale and Retail Receiving/Shipping System - WARRS) which then passes the data to D035J (Financial Inventory Accounting and Billing System - FIABS), thus impacting accounting and auditable records of NWRM. AF NWRM items are stored in multiple locations, but the only AF Wholesale (Depot Level) storage/repair facility for AF NWRM is located at the NWRM Storage Facility (NSF), Hill AFB, Ogden, UT.

The Contractor Supported Weapon System Data Exchange (CSWS DE) is the only capability the AF has to obtain data from contractor databases to populate AF systems. CSWS DE facilitates data between the Contractor Inventory Control Points (CICPs) and AF legacy systems that do not allow direct commercial access. This enables contractors to input and view, with Government concurrence, needed information. It is automated web-based tech solution to collect spares, parts usage, failure rate and pipeline data from contractors and pass that data to Government legacy systems. This provides asset visibility from forward operating locations to supply systems, to contractor and perhaps to supplier inventories. Spares Support IPT have on-line edit and query capabilities and users visibility of spares and usage data via the internet. Introduction: CSWS DE was an AF/A4LR initiative to provide visibility of contractor controlled weapon system item usage data during all phases of operational use. This data enhances the Government's position in determining the spares requirements at the transition point decision to continue with contractor Contract Logistics Support (CLS).
