Maintenance Activities and Resources Simulation (MARS) Model

摘要

MARS is a Vertol Developed Aircraft Operations and Maintenance Simulation Model written in GPSS for application on the IBM-360-65 computer. The MARS model was developed to provide visibility of an aircraft's ability to comply with an imposed flight schedule and maintenance philosophy. Scheduled flight operations and available maintenance resources are interfaced to determine their effect upon aircraft availability and maintenance resource usage rates.

Various relationships, such as the Availability/Utilization Function, may be investigated and optimized in compliance with the constraints imposed by the resources available, and mission profile designated.

Primary applications of MARS are in the fields of Engineering and Logistics Support Planning Analyses.
