Inhaltsangabe

The Air Force currently relies on two transportation information management systems for managing cargo and passenger movements throughout the Defense Transportation System. The two systems are Global Air Transportation Execution System (GATES) and Cargo Movement Operations System (CMOS). Although GATES and CMOS have evolved from legacy systems created during the 1980s, both systems are used to process cargo and passengers while providing the information needed to maintain in-transit visibility (ITV) and manage each movement. In 1994 the Department of Defense issued a memo that emphasized the use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products because of the private sector's ability to maintain a competitive edge and provide better technology for integrating information systems. Since the events of September 11th 2001, the DoD has reemphasized the need to transform their warfighting capabilities in making them flexible and adaptive enough to meet future challenges.
