In 1996, NATO carried out a series of studies which resulted in a detailed specification for a PILS (Programme Integrated Logistics System). The conclusion of the study included the requirements of replacing the CAMS (Core Automated Maintenance System) and SBSS (Standard Base Supply System) software.
ILIAS Solutions was chosen as the best available COTS (commercial off the shelf) solution to replace target legacy systems and manage the data of all procurement, supply and maintenance processes.
Since ‘going live’, ILIAS has become the integration platform to replace multiple organic legacy NATO applications. Today, ILIAS is used across main and forward operating bases to optimize operational readiness of the E3-A AWACS fleet as well as globally coordinate 30 SOR’s (Sources of Repair).
