Harvest has been tailored for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Combat Support Group (CSG) to automate weekly and immediate reporting of unit preparedness against defined levels of capability (DLOC). An important feature of the Harvest system is to reduce the practical burden on staff to provide weekly and daily reports.

For RAAF CSG, Harvest promotes a change of paradigm from a manual system of raising weekly reports at the designated time (an imposition on limited staff) to an automated system, whereby current status of the entity is maintained continually and then is submitted as the weekly report with associated comments. In addition to reporting against capability status, issues in relation to any capability can be raised by entities. Issues become part of the data set that compiles the weekly report. To create the weekly report, Harvest takes a snap-shot of current status data and imports that data set into the weekly report format. Thus, as current status is maintained on a continual basis, submission of the weekly report is simply a process of “create, submit.”
