An Evaluation of Telemaintenance Capability and Its Impact Within the United States Air Force

By Steven A. Oliver

Over the years technology has advanced as it relates to aircraft maintenance. Telemaintenance--an item specifically identified in JV2010's Focused Logistics Joint Logistics Roadmap--is a new maintenance capability that could completely transform the Air Force's maintenance doctrine and organizational structures. Telemaintenance, the capability to repair components and/or project technical expertise through a virtual environment among geographically separated maintenance units, is poised to revolutionize Air Force aircraft maintenance in the very near future. Currently, the Air Force, through its eLog21 logistics transformation program, is attempting to take advantage of these new capabilities by integrating them into its logistics operations to improve both their overall efficiency and operational effectiveness. However, before it can fully realize the benefits telemaintenance has to offer, the Air Force must ensure its combat support doctrine outlines the overarching principles on how best the Air Force can employ this facet of its combat support power.
