Logistics Support for FMS Aircraft

Service Description

CST understands effective logistics support is the backbone of mission readiness, operational efficiency and fleet sustainment for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) aircraft. Our logistics solutions are designed to empower partner nations with the tools they need to maintain and operate their aircraft with confidence. A comprehensive logistics framework must include the integration of supply chain management, maintenance planning, sustainment operations and specialized training. By focusing on these areas, CST enables foreign military forces to reduce aircraft downtime, increase operational effectiveness, and optimize fleet readiness. Optimized Supply Chain Management Supply chain management is the cornerstone of effective logistics support, covering procurement, storage, distribution, and inventory control of spare parts and consumables. At CST, we address the challenges FMS customers face in navigating the US Military Logistics System by implementing streamlined processes and advanced technologies. Our approach includes automated requisition tracking, forecasting tools and real-time inventory monitoring systems. We offer solutions such as integrated logistics software to enhance efficiency in parts requisitions and minimize delays. By embedding Military Standard Requisitioning and Issue Procedures (MILSTRIP) into our systems, we ensure proper prioritization and prevent disruptions caused by incorrect practices. Sustainment Operations and Maintenance Infrastructure Our sustainment operations focus on establishing a strong maintenance and repair infrastructure, ensuring aircraft remain mission-capable. CST provides Contract Logistics Support (CLS) that includes technical expertise, on-site maintenance personnel and rapid response capabilities for unforeseen failures. We help customers develop strategic maintenance plans, including preventative maintenance inspections, component lifecycle tracking, and reliability-centered practices. Our solutions emphasize the management of consumables such as hydraulic fluids, lubricants, and electrical components to maintain continuous aircraft availability.
