Abstract:Maintaining a high level of availability of weapon systems during battles becomes important from the point of view of winning the battle. Due to attrition factors (failure due to battle damage and unreliability) and logistic delays in the repair process, maintaining the required level of availability is difficult. In this paper, we develop a simulation model for availability of fighter aircraft considering multiple failures causing system failure and logistic delays in the repair process. The methodology is ba… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
