DASLOCA project improves Air Force service logistics

Logistics is one of the pillars of the Air Force during missions in enemy airspace. Researchers from TU/e and the Netherlands Defense Academy will investigate how the service logistics of the Royal Air Force can be optimized. The research proposal "DAta-driven Service LOgistics for Contested Airspace (DASLOCA)" has been selected as one of four projects under the call Supply Chains for Society. This call, funded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate, focuses on stimulating knowledge and innovation in logistics to address societal challenges.

Predictable Maintenance

DASLOCA will develop advanced mathematical models and software tools that will allow for predictable maintenance and spare parts management. Thus, DASLOCA will address uncertainties related to the location and usage intensity of equipment, which will improve the safety and effectiveness of military operations.

This research highlights the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration and innovation to address complex societal challenges. The research team consists of Melvin Drent and Loe Schlicher from TU/e and Bram Westerweel and Paul van Fenema from the Netherlands Defense Academy.
