The Logistics Information Network System, or LINK as it is known, provides the capability to access multiple computer systems for information on material in place and material in transportation in a timely manner. LINK provides a solution that satisfies the mission requirement to fulfill insufficiencies in times of war, crisis or peacetime. LINK operates in times of both war and peace to obtain logistics information from existing computer systems and to present this information to decision makers in an understandable format. LM provides a set of customized Gateway applications. Gateway (sometimes referred to as the Intelligent Gateway) provides the necessary capabilities for automated access and data retrieval from remote computer systems. The LINK applications make it easy for users to access remote computers and to retrieve information from databases and other applications running on remote computer systems.
