"If we get smarter about what we put into the supply chain, we can help transform the way military units operate," says William Lucyshyn, co-investigator on the project and director of research at the Center for Public Policy and Private Enterprise.

"With the F/A-18s, the goal is to reduce the downtime and maximize the fighting force -- while still reducing the support costs," Lucyshyn said. "This can make a significant difference in military effectiveness."
