Performance Based Simulation Modeling Quantifies Aircraft Carrier Life Cycle cost and Readiness

摘要

This paper describes a new modeling technique for quantitatively assessing the material condition and readiness or determining the life cycle cost of any aircraft carrier whether it is in-service or a new design. Called "The Aircraft Carrier Material Condition and Readiness Assessment Simulation Model," it interactively links the Combined performance of 18 major ship- Board systems and over 600 critical Components to flight operations and Mission requirements and measures it Against a Fleet standard of 110 sorties Per day.
