The Army has awarded a $2.5 million contract to the University of Maryland to design and test a supply chain management system for the military's mobile weapons system.
Two university research centers will collaborate on the 12-month project for the military's High Mobility Rocket Artillery System. HIMARS is a highly mobile system that can launch guided rockets and then move away from its location at high speed to avoid detection.
Researchers will work with the Department of Defense and private subcontractors to develop a best practice strategy, design an IT architecture and build a prototype for a Web-based HIMARS supply chain portal.
The university centers working on the project include the Supply Chain Management Center at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, and the Center for Public Policy and Private Enterprise at the School of Public Affairs.
