One-stop shopping for millions of records
The Engineering Data Center of the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center (OC/ALC) supports newer weapon systems (described by 2D drawings and 3D models requiring state-of-the art management techniques) along with aging systems (requiring the full spectrum of engineering drawings – from aperture cards to digital data). As with other Department of Defense organizations, OC/ALC has experienced a decline in operating budgets; yet its responsibilities have increased due to closures of other logistics centers.
