Abstract
For the purpose of lowering the overall cost of defense war-fighter acquisitions, both the United States Government and the Australian Commonwealth Government mandate Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) methods upon acquisition and through life support contracts. Demanding military aerospace acquisition and sustainment requirements however, present the defense industry with a significant challenge; that every military contract being unique. Consequently this is inherent in the design of defense PBC through the combination of desired Outcomes and Key Performance Indicators (KPI). Attempts to manage multiple PBC across multiple platforms become inefficient, as the analysis of data is sourced from a multitude of systems. In this chapter, we utilize multi-disciplinary methodologies together in accordance with a PBC Framework, to design and integrate a Knowledge System with a Fuzzy Logic Controller for the automation of condition based analysis of military aerospace PBC.
