1.0 The Life Cycle Sustainment Plan (LCSP) documents the Program Manager and Product Support Manager's plan for formulating, implementing and executing the sustainment strategy, and is part of the overall Acquisition Strategy of a program. It details the system’s sustainment Key Performance Parameters (KPPs)/Key System Attributes (KSAs). The LCSP describes the approach and resources necessary to develop and integrate sustainment requirements into the system's design, development, testing, deployment and sustainment phases while controlling overall program Total Ownership Costs (TOC). It should include sufficient detail for a program to execute against, to include a product support integrated master schedule.
1.1 The LCSP shall be integrated across the system life cycle including strategy development, planning, development, production, fielding, modification (which may include technology advancement), support, and disposal. The LCSP streamlines, consolidates, and makes visible to leadership all product support aspects of the program.
1.2 The LCSP evolves into an execution plan to describe the manner in which life cycle sustainment requirements are acquired, applied, managed, assessed, measured, and reported after system fielding. By Milestone (MS) C, the LCSP should detail how the program will meet readiness targets, sustain system performance capability threshold criteria, comply with Title 10 United States Code (USC) 2464, Core Logistics Capabilities, and 10 USC 2466, Limitations on the Performance of Depot-level Maintenance of Materiel, mitigate operations and support (O&S) costs, reduce the logistics footprint and comply with environmental and other logistics related regulations. When the program enters the O&S Phase, the LCSP is the execution plan for sustaining the system to include disposal. The LCSP should be used to support and align efforts to the program’s planning, programming, budgeting, and execution activities.
1.3 This process applies to all acquisition programs as defined in AFI63-101/20-101, Integrated Life Cycle Management, paragraph.
