Real-Time Supportability System (RTSS)<br />
<strong>Advanced</strong> <strong>Technology</strong> Laboratories • Electronic Systems Business Area<br />
Vol. 1 No. 3
Real-Time<br />
Supportability<br />
System (RTSS)<br />
The Department of Defense faces<br />
diminishing manufacturing<br />
sources, out-of-production parts<br />
for aging platforms, and advancing<br />
technology: How does it stay mission-capable<br />
into the future?<br />
Planners must anticipate upgrades.<br />
As a result, the DoD now<br />
requires contractors to establish<br />
Design-to-Disposal maintenance<br />
support programs for new<br />
weapons systems.<br />
<strong>Lockheed</strong> <strong>Martin</strong> <strong>Advanced</strong> <strong>Technology</strong><br />
Laboratories (ATL) developed and<br />
transitioned its Real-Time Supportability<br />
System (RTSS) to <strong>Lockheed</strong> <strong>Martin</strong><br />
Maritime Systems and Sensors, Eagan<br />
(MS2).<br />
RTSS provides realistic and comprehensive<br />
information-management technology<br />
for all stakeholders, lets them manage<br />
daily support activities, and anticipates<br />
upgrade programs as a comprehensive,<br />
integrated process.<br />
As part of RTSS, ATL developed the<br />
Product Manager Frame (PMF)—a management<br />
tool that provides multiple views<br />
of a product structure, including design,<br />
function, and cost. Using Smart Product<br />
Model technology, the PMF ensures less<br />
duplication and rework, more affordable<br />
designs, configuration management, and a<br />
collaborative, distributed engineering<br />
environment.<br />
A second feature is the Attribute<br />
Wizard, which provides the capability to<br />
automatically generate custom attributes<br />
or descriptions of data sets, such as parts<br />
lists, engineering drawings, and specification<br />
databases. These and other relevant<br />
data sets, including those from legacy<br />
databases, can be automatically integrated<br />
into the RTSS structure and be ready to<br />
use in days.<br />
Other Transition Successes<br />
• Life-Cycle Maintenance. RTSS is a<br />
core component of MS2’s business<br />
strategy for life-cycle maintenance and<br />
is being rolled out to support several<br />
programs, both domestic and international.<br />
• Computing Display. RTSS is being<br />
evaluated for the AN/UYQ-70 computing,<br />
display, and networking equipment<br />
for U.S. Navy applications. RTSS will<br />
help the program identify, monitor, and<br />
accelerate introduction of leading-edge<br />
technologies into the Fleet to meet program<br />
requirements.<br />
