Coordinated activities required to support materiel throughout its service life. (Defence Terminology Bank record number 694822)

3.6 The DND and the CAF are committed to using ILS to ensure that defence systems are optimized to achieve overall system effectiveness and strategic objectives at an affordable life cycle cost.

12 elements ofIntegrated Logistics support

The management and technical process through which supportability and logistic support considerations are integrated into the design and taken into account throughout the life cycle of systems/equipment and by which all elements of logistic support are planned, acquired, tested and provided in a timely and cost-effective manner. (Defence Terminology Bank record number 4552)

3.2 The DND and the CAF require reliable defence systems that are available and serviceable to accomplish their assigned tasks. This can be accomplished, in part, by integrated logistics support (ILS). ILS ensures that a defence system:

The degree of availability of a support solution necessary for a system to meet its operational requirements. (Defence Terminology Bank record number 696459)

Application: This DAOD is a directive that applies to employees of the Department of National Defence (DND employees) and an order that applies to officers and non-commissioned members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF members).

In respect of materiel assurance, refers to defence systems and equipment that, from the perspective of both first line support and second line support, are ready to perform their intended task for the preparation and employment of multi-purpose forces for CAF requirements. (Defence Terminology Bank record number 696296)

A standardized methodology that guides sustainment teams to develop a flexible, scalable, and principles-based solution for materiel sustainment. (Defence Terminology Bank record number 694823)

All non-expendable items needed to outfit/equip an individual or organization. (Defence Terminology Bank record number 523)

4.1 Should clarification of the policy statement, requirements or authorities set out in this DAOD be required, DND employees and CAF members may seek direction through their channel of communication or chain of command, as appropriate. The anticipated results set out in the policy statement may not be achieved by the DND and the CAF if the requirements specified in this DAOD are not properly implemented. Not achieving the anticipated results could affect the ability of the DND and the CAF to ensure that the CAF is prepared to undertake missions for the protection of Canada and Canadians and the maintenance of international peace and stability.

3.1 DAOD 1000-4, Policy Framework for Materiel and Asset Management, assigns functional authority for materiel acquisition and support to ADM(Mat). DAOD 3000-0, Materiel Acquisition and Support, requires that the DND and the CAF acquire and support materiel throughout its entire life cycle.

3.4 Most support systems are a complex range of goods and services provided by the DND and the CAF, other government departments and industry, and these often represent a large percentage of the life cycle cost of a defence system.

Suitable for its intended purpose within the intended operational environment, concept of operations and concept of support. (Defence Terminology Bank record number 696293)
