Computer Based Decision Support Tool for Helicopter Mission Planning in Disaster Relief and Military Operations (Outil informatique d'aide a la decision pour la planification des missions d'helicopteres dans des operations militaires et de secours en cas

摘要

The SAS-045 study group was formed to propose a framework for a generic and flexible decision support tool that can be used in effective management of helicopter missions both during humanitarian and military operations. This report provides an in-depth discussion of the research process executed by the team and the output of each of those modules. A problem analysis module provides the operational context, mission types, and the decision-making framework. A concept of solutions module presents the mathematical modeling description, the resolution method, and computational results on testing scenarios. Finally, the technical requirements module describes the information management system, database interfacing module, and the protocols and, as well, the information support tool dependencies are defined.
