The e-LINCS contract was launched in April 2004 through the combined expertise of Renaissance Services and its partners. Key elements of the program include establishment of a web-based infrastructure; establishment/extension of enabling technologies; case studies and related analysis at more than 100 aerospace suppliers, prime contractors, and military logistics organizations; and a functioning pilot system involving aerospace suppliers and their customers. Following development and demonstration of the e-LINCS concept, initial implementation and subsequent full implementation across the supply chain are anticipated.

Through broad-based application of its game changing technologies, e-LINCS will provide the small and mid sized aerospace suppliers—and their customers—with a critical advantage that will increase quality, reduce cycle times and cost, and significantly enhance US industrial competitiveness in the global market place. All of which will result in substantially increased readiness and improved sustainment for US military forces worldwide.
