What is integrated logistics support?

Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) is a management process used by logistics engineers, including those in the role of an Integrated Logistics Support Engineer, to ensure that all support considerations—such as maintenance, supply, training, and documentation—are integrated into the design and lifecycle of a system. It aims to optimize system availability, reduce lifecycle costs, and improve operational readiness through coordinated planning and analysis. Proficiency in logistics tools and lifecycle management is essential for this role.
