Logistics Functional Area Services, better known as LOGFAS, is a software primarily used by NATO to manage logistics, process geographical data and operational planning.[1][2]

Overview

LOGFAS has been in service with NATO since 1995.[1]

It was developed and is being maintained by the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NICA).[3][4]

The software is a key element of NATO's interoperability. The alliance, that spans tow continents and 28 languages, requires a unified system to manage a vast and complex logistics network efficiently and share information.[4]

In 2019 Ukraine adopted the software for use in the newly created Logistics Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.[1]

LOGFAS is also the basis for the Enablement Support Services (ESS) which is being developed and is said to have 23 modules.[4]
