MICHAEL L. DAVIS

Mike Davis is a Senior Systems Analyst at SPARTA, INC. He is an active member of the AFEB and a leader in the CALS CITIS area.

Qualifications:

Mike is with SPARTA's Supportability Information Systems Division in Huntsville, Alabama. He is director of the Information Systems Modeling Directorate. Within this group, SPARTA is implementing CALS/CITIS applications within SPARTA. In addition, they are bringing government customers into their specific workgroups within the SPARTA CALS/CITIS environment, and also developing customized tool sets for other users. With other groups at SPARTA, they are developing tools which allow access to databases and related information/documentation in a multi-platform, client/server environment. An example of this kind of application is the Integrated Logistics Support Database (ILSDB) that SPARTA is developing for MOTOROLA in support of the IRIDIUM( project. SPARTA has also developed the Requirements Acquisition Planning and Performance Interactive Development System (RAP2IDS), which provides a set of logistics analysis tools and databases within an environment which has retrieval and storage and generation capability for related reports and documentation.

Other Qualifications for Leadership:

He is currently supporting Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) and logistics analyses for both commercial and DoD efforts. For several years, Mike has supported the simulation and modeling activities of the Army by maintaining and enhancing the Logistics Simulation (LOGSIM) and the Logistics Analysis Model (LOGAM). Mike has also provided logistics input to various real-time simulation exercises sponsored by USSPACECOM at the National Test Facility. Mike has provided analysis of manpower requirements for the Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system by using and enhancing the Total Operating Support Analysis Model (TOPSAM). This model generates manpower requirements for operation and maintenance of a deployed system, as well as the cost for the operations and support phase of deployment.

Mike has also supported the efforts of the BMDO National Test Bed to develop the Analytical Tool Box (ATB) of simulation and models. He has worked with the Configuration Management and Confidence Assessment Working Groups in providing input for USASSDC logistics models, as well as in development of initial procedures for the ATB.

At previous work assignments at SRS Technologies and Teledyne Brown Engineering, Mike developed simulations and models of many aspects of defensive systems, including logistics, system performance, mission analysis, and system reliability. Mike also supported USASSDC and BMDO sponsored studies including the Third Tier Study (TTS), Midcourse and Terminal Tier Review (MATTR), and the USASSDC Strategic Defense System Study (SDSS), a proactive study of SDI alternatives.

Mike graduated from Harding College with a BS in Mathematics in 1977 and from the University of Arkansas in 1980 with a MS degree in Statistics. Mike is married to Judith Davis, and has two children, Paul and Sarah. He enjoys locating and, occasionally, buying collectibles and antiques.
