Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier fleet must meet the forward presence requirements of theater commanders. With a decreasing fleet size, planners must balance the timing of maintenance, training, and deployment with presence and surge demands. Evaluating multiple one- and two-deployment scenarios per cycle, RAND examines the feasibility of different cycle lengths, their effect on carrier forward presence, and their impact on shipyard workloads.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Navy currently maintains a fleet of 11 aircraft carriers. These ships, which are among the most powerful and versatile elements of U.S. naval forces, allow the Navy to undertake a wide range of tasks. They are also among the most complex weapon systems operated by the Navy. The carriers themselves need continuous and regularly scheduled maintenance. Their crews require a great deal of training to attain and sustain readiness levels. The length of the training, readiness, deployment, and maintenance cycle (defined as the period from the end of one depot maintenance period to the end of the next), the type of maintenance needed (i.e., docking or non-docking), and the timing of events within the cycle affect the carrier's availability to meet operational needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the United States seeks ways to stretch its defense dollars, pursue the Global War on Terrorism, and meet other national-security challenges, it is highly likely that policymakers will increase their reliance on aircraft carriers, using them more often and in more situations than they have in the past, especially if the vessels have the additional capabilities to respond appropriately. The current and expected use of aircraft carriers led the United States Navy in fall 2004 to commission RAND to explore new and nontraditional ways that the United States might be able to employ aircraft carriers in pursuit of traditional and emerging military and homeland defense missions. Over six months, RAND created and convened two Concept Options Groups (COGs)-small groups of experienced military and civilian experts, defense analysts, and potential users who work together to identify promising ways to employ military might in nontraditional ways-to explore possible nontraditional roles for aircraft carriers. One COG explored and identified new ways that aircraft carriers could be used in combat operations; the second COG examined ways that the vessels could be used in noncombat, homeland security missions or to help the nation recover from terrorist attacks or natural disasters in U.S. territories. Among the combat recommendations to come from the COG insights are that abilities need to be enhanced to reconfigure carrier air wings; among noncombat recommendations are that the availability of nonready carriers to respond to unforeseen crises needs to be improved. This monograph summarizes the activities, findings, and recommendations of both carrier COGs. It should be of special interest to the Navy and to uniformed and civilian decisionmakers with responsibilities related to naval and carrier operations, maritime domain awareness, or homeland security.
Book Synopsis Optimal Long-Term Aircraft Carrier Deployment Planning with Synchronous Depot Level Maintenance Scheduling by : Mehmet Ayik
Download or read book Optimal Long-Term Aircraft Carrier Deployment Planning with Synchronous Depot Level Maintenance Scheduling written by Mehmet Ayik and published by . This book was released on 1998-03-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forward deployment of Navy aircraft carrier battle groups is a primary means for the United States to achieve overseas interests. The Navy maintains the forward presence of aircraft carriers in three major Areas of Responsibility (AORs): the Mediterranean Sea, the Persian Gulf, and the Western Pacific. Considering the cost of carrier operations and the desire to maximize coverage of the AORs, planning deployments for the carriers not only significantly affects the achievement of U.S. defense strategy, but also impacts the Navy financially. Previous studies have maximized the deployment of aircraft carriers to the AORs while strictly adhering to the fixed, long-range maintenance schedules published by the Planning and Engineering for Repairs and Alterations Activity for Aircraft Carriers (PERA CV). This thesis optimizes aircraft carrier deployment planning while shifting the pre-scheduled maintenance availabilities well within limits allowed by the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO). This synchronous planning of deployments and major maintenance yields at least 15% more planned coverage in the AORs with the existing carrier fleet Such an increase had heretofore been thought to require three additional aircraft carriers.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the next two decades, the United States Navy will, at any one time, have a fleet of ten to 12 aircraft carriers. Of these, two or three will be continuously deployed and on-station at any one time in its major overseas operational areas of the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf region, and the Western Pacific, in support of combatant commanders. In addition, the Navy intends to surge carriers (including those already deployed) so that a total of six carriers can be provided to combatant commanders within 30 days and another carrier within 90 days. The ability of the Navy to meet all these requirements is constrained both by the six-month limit on deployment length and by the intensive training and maintenance demands of aircraft carriers. The Navy has considered the six-month limit on deployments and the predictability of Carrier Strike Groups (CSGs) rotation key to maintaining forward presence while meeting personnel recruiting and retention goals. In addition, maintenance is constantly being performed on aircraft carriers, with nearly a third of a carrier's lifetime being spent either preparing for or actually in depot-level repair availabilities, in which it is not deployable.

Book Synopsis Modernizing the U.S. Aircraft Carrier Fleet by : John Frederic Schank
Download or read book Modernizing the U.S. Aircraft Carrier Fleet written by John Frederic Schank and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2005 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Navy is currently designing the next generation aircraft carrier, the CVN 21. This class of carriers will use the same basic hull form as the current Nimitz class but will include a substantial redesign of the interior of the ship for improved weapons handling and stores management functions. It will also incorporate several new technologies including a new propulsion system and new aircraft launch and recovery systems. These improvements not only will increase the operational capability of the ship but also are anticipated to lower the ship's manpower requirements and maintenance costs. Under current force modernization plans, new ships of the CVN 21 class will be introduced every four or five years as the ships of the Nimitz class reach the end of their planned 50-year operational life. Under this strategy, Nimitz class carriers will be operating for over 50 more years and it will take decades to transform the aircraft carrier fleet to ships of the new class.On the basis of some preliminary calculations that appeared promising, RAND proposed to the Program Executive Office (PEO) for Aircraft Carriers an examination of a way to accelerate the transformation of the carrier force: replacing Nimitz-class carriers as they reach mid-life instead of refueling them. In this report we identify specific fleet management options for building new instead of refueling, and we evaluate their advantages and disadvantages. This report should be of interest to Navy and Office of Secretary of Defense planners examining fleet modernization options, especially those organizations addressing the costs of alternative force structure options.
Book Synopsis Optimal Aircraft Carrier Deployment Scheduling by : Craig T. Schauppner
Download or read book Optimal Aircraft Carrier Deployment Scheduling written by Craig T. Schauppner and published by . This book was released on 1996-03-01 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Navy's peacetime mission is 'to conduct forward presence operations to help shape the strategic environment by deterring conflict, building interoperability, and by responding, as necessary, to fast breaking crises with the demonstration and application of credible combat power. 'To meet this mission, the Navy deploys aircraft carriers to forward positions throughout the world. A new nuclear powered aircraft carrier costs over $3.4 billion dollars and when deployed carries over 6,000 personnel onboard. Considering the cost and the man hours involved in carrier operations judicious and effective use of these valuable assets is imperative. The CINCPACFLT Operations Department maintains a five year deployment plan for the six carriers assigned to the Pacific Fleet. Currently, the deployment schedule is produced manually. A feasible five year plan typically takes the carrier scheduling officer one week to generate. This thesis presents an optimization based tool to assist in constructing deployment schedules that maximize the forward presence of Pacific Fleet carriers. The underlying optimization model is different from those in the literature. Instead of using a set covering approach, the problem is formulated as a shortest path problem with side constraints. This formulation allows the problem to be solved more rapidly, thus allowing more opportunities for sensitivity and trade-off analyses.

Download or read book The U.S. Navy written by Thomas-Durell Young and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-28 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great power competition has returned to the world stage and the U.S. Navy finds itself in the forefront of U.S. efforts to demonstrate national resolve. The U.S. Navy: Case Studies in its Past, Present, and Future argues that the challenge of determining the future structure and operation of the fleet can be best achieved through an examination of its relevant past experience, as well as from current operations of the navy. After years of uncertainty as to its purpose and missions, the rise of China and Russian provocations now require U.S. officials to transform the fleet and its way of employing it. The contributors to this edition provide case studies of past, present, and future challenges that the U.S. Navy has, and will need to overcome as it reconsiders how it will restructure the fleet and reconsider its prevailing concepts of operations. Contributors examine past challenges to structuring the fleet and its prevailing concepts of operation. Based on this foundation, case studies propose how navy leadership should consider developing and employing the fleet in future. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Defense & Security Analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Secretary of Defense plans to shift Navy aircraft carrier acquisition to every five years. This shift should have little impact on force structure and the industrial base in the next decade. After that, the force structure shrinks, as does the chance of meeting goals for the number of deployed aircraft carriers. The plan could have a larger effect on any later desire to increase the number of aircraft carriers in the fleet.

Download or read book The U.S. Aircraft Carrier Industrial Base Force Structure, Cost, Schedule, and Technology Issues for CVN 77 written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents the methods and findings of RAND research on the adequacy of the defense industrial base to support further construction of aircraft carriers and on the cost, schedule, and technology issues associated with building the next carrier, designated CVN 77. If the current carrier force size of 12 ships is to be maintained and if a decay in the quality of basic capabilities is to be avoided, CVN 77 cannot be started more than a year or so beyond the currently planned date of 2002. The earlier CVN is started, the less it will cost. Increasing the build duration from the planned 6.5 years to 8.5 years will also reduce costs. However, timing should not greatly affect the survival of suppliers of carrier components. The report recommends beginning ship fabrication before 2002 (which could save hundreds of millions of dollars); ordering contractor-furnished equipment in advance of shipyard start (a savings of tens of millions); and investment in R & D directed toward adapting production processes and engineering improvements that could reduce the cost of carrier construction, operation and maintenance, and manning. In fact, the costs involved in building and operating carriers are so huge that the Navy should consider establishing a stable annual R & D funding level for these ships.
