International audienceIn the late 1960s the US Air Force Logistics Command(AFLC) engaged in an unparalleled, real-time computer networking projectto manage all its logistics (location, inventory, maintenance, andtransportation of personnel, aircraft, weapons, components, spare parts,etc.), the Advanced Logistics System (ALS). The $250 million ALS projectwas substantially larger in size and cost than earlier real-timecomputer networking projects (including SAGE programming and SABRE), butit has received virtually no attention from historians of computing.Ultimately, the ALS project failed. Drawing from an oral history withlead contractor Control Data's (CDC) longtime ALS project manager,previously unavailable CDC documents, and documentation and an oralhistory from a leading external Air Force advisor on ALS, it shows howthe AFLC pushed too far too fast in seeking to be a first-mover increating a massive unified database and real-time computer network forhighly complex logistics
