Responsibilities also include supply, maintenance and related logistics support, including field service representatives who work alongside the Warfighter to provide quick turnaround times.

Lockheed Martin’s Life Cycle Contractor Support (LCCS) system will support more than 300 launchers through 2010.

LCCS field service representatives feed a central operations centre with complete records of each unit’s launcher operational status, configurations and component upgrades, all of which are instantly available in a networked database.

This database also contains records that describe the configuration and maintenance history of every major component and sub-assembly.
