Research on Equipment Lifecycle Management Based on Consortium Blockchain

Abstract

The management of the whole life cycle of equipment is one of the central tasks of the army. According to the traditional examination and registration method, the centralized data are easy to cause single point failure and data tampering. Moreover, with the evolution of the war form and the continuous improvement of the intelligence level of weapons and equipment, the military has put forward higher requirements for real-time performance control and efficient management of the whole life cycle of weapons and equipment. In order to effectively ensure the efficient management and safe use of weapons and equipment in the whole life cycle, the Consortium Blockchain technology system is applied to the management of the whole life cycle of equipment. Based on the chain local storage, the data of management, configuration, operation and maintenance of the whole life cycle of equipment are stored. The problems of single point failure threat, long management response time and large traceability tracking consumption in current equipment management are solved, which provides an exploration direction for military equipment management.
