English term
logistics chain maximised use COTS/MOTS
English
Tech/Engineering
Military / Defense
This is a bullet point in a presentation describing an armoured digger/obstacle remover used in military operations.
In a slide about the machine's capability, it says:
Affordable:
--> More cost effective than MBT engineer variants
--> Low manpower costs (2 crew)
--> Cost effective logistics chain maximised use COTS/MOTS
I've already established that "COTS/MOTS" stands for "Commercial / Military off-the-shelf", but I can't figure our what "logistics chain maximised use COTS/MOTS" could possibly mean here.
Thank you!

essentially agree with orientalhorizon -- IMO there should be colon or en dash between 'chain' and 'maximised', OR 'maximised...'should be a separate bullet point (these things happen...)

maximised use of off-the-shelf components or (sub)assemblies
the maximised use of readily available components or (sub)assemblies will reduce pressure on logistics chain, not necessary to resort to too much special efforts.

finding the best bargains using your logistics
they have parts that can be purchased either from military sources or commercial through logistics
