Welcome!

Product support is critical to achieving and sustaining warfighter readiness and lethality and must begin at program inception to ensure effective and affordable readiness outcomes. Product support management is the organization and coordination of life cycle activities, products, processes, and data required to achieve defined program supportability cost, schedule, and performance objectives.
Product support management includes the following:

• Planning, cost estimating and budgeting, developing, implementing, and managing effective product support strategies  that address all 12 of the integrated product support (IPS) elements to accomplish materiel and system readiness for systems covered by 10 U.S.C. §4324 (covered systems), major systems, sub-systems, components, and embedded software under the Adaptive Acquisition Framework (AAF) .
• Involves translating force provider capability and performance requirements into tailored product support strategies to achieve specified and evolving life cycle product support availability, reliability, and affordability parameters.
• All activities related to weapon system readiness, is built upon the Integrated Product Support (IPS) Elements and is executed through development and implementation of effective and efficient  product support arrangements (PSA) .
• Life cycle sustainment planning and execution, seamlessly spanning a system's entire life cycle.
• Involves selecting  product support integrators (PSIs) and product support providers (PSPs)  as appropriate to execute the product support strategy.
