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.
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.
Book Synopsis Increasing Aircraft Carrier Forward Presence by : Roland J. Yardley
Download or read book Increasing Aircraft Carrier Forward Presence written by Roland J. Yardley and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2008-04-16 with total page 91 pages. 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.
Book Synopsis Optimizing Assignments of Strike-fighter Squadrons to Carrier-airwing Deployments by : Rebecca L. Madson
Download or read book Optimizing Assignments of Strike-fighter Squadrons to Carrier-airwing Deployments written by Rebecca L. Madson and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of the Navy currently has 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers (CVN), which are the centerpiece of carrier strike groups (CSG). The Fleet Response Plan (FRP) dictates CSG deployment and readiness cycles. Based on the FRP, the Navy produces a Master Aviation Plan that assigns 10 carrier-airwings (CVW) to CVNs and carrier-based squadrons to CVWs. At any given time, there are at most 38 strike-fighter squadrons to fill 40 possible assignments. Because there are not enough to fill every possible assignment at one time, strike-fighter squadrons must move between carrier-airwings. Currently, heuristics determine moves using a set of predetermined rules. This thesis presents the Carrier Optimal Strike-fighter Scheduling Tool (COSST), which uses an integer-linear program that optimally assigns strike-fighter squadrons to carrier-airwings over a 10-year period. Assignments minimize moves and ensure sufficient time between deployments. Compared to an existing schedule, our analysis shows that COSST reduces the number of strike-fighter squadron moves from eleven to five in the first four years. Our analysis also examines the impact of reducing strike-fighter squadron availability and transitioning squadrons.

Book Synopsis Optimal Scheduling and Operating Target (OPTAR) Cost Model for Aircraft Carriers in the Fleet Response Plan by :
Download or read book Optimal Scheduling and Operating Target (OPTAR) Cost Model for Aircraft Carriers in the Fleet Response Plan written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fleet Response Plan was developed to provide persistent readiness of the carrier fleet to respond to a variety of situations. This capability is developed through the Fleet Readiness Training Plan (FRTP) where the Navy's carriers are scheduled in staggered 32-month cycles consisting of four phases of progressive readiness levels. Required operating target funds, or OPTAR, are budgeted to each carrier by Commander Naval Air Forces to achieve and maintain that readiness. Future OPTAR budgets, however, will be constrained by a 20-percent reduction in fiscal years 2009 through 2013. To compensate, funding priority is given to carriers in higher readiness phases at the expense of carriers conducting baseline training and maintenance, adversely impacting the fleet s ability to exercise the Fleet's Response Plan as originally intended. This thesis optimizes scheduling synchronously across all carriers to meet established FRTP readiness goals. Then, using a cost model based on recent historical spending and employment data, this thesis generates an estimate of required funding to operate all carriers. Ultimately, this thesis provides a link between operational requirements and OPTAR budget requirements.
Book Synopsis Changing Aircraft Carrier Procurement Schedules by : John F. Schank
Download or read book Changing Aircraft Carrier Procurement Schedules written by John F. Schank and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 2011-03-04 with total page 0 pages. 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.
Book Synopsis Optimizing Flight Operations for an Aircraft Carrier in Transit by : Richard E. Rosenthal
Download or read book Optimizing Flight Operations for an Aircraft Carrier in Transit written by Richard E. Rosenthal and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suppose an aircraft carrier is in transit to an assigned position within strike range of a designated target, and is required to be there at a specified time. The carrier may use aircraft assets for defense against threats that may be encountered en route, but doing so will encumber the carrier's progress toward the required objective. We present a highly detailed integer programming model for scheduling aircraft launches and recoveries, so as to achieve an optimal balance between the conflicting needs of self protection and on-time arrival. Optimization, Aircraft carriers, Scheduling Flight Operations.

Book Synopsis Increasing Aircraft Carrier Forward Presence: Changing the Length of the Maintenance Cycle by :
Download or read book Increasing Aircraft Carrier Forward Presence: Changing the Length of the Maintenance Cycle written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. 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.
Book Synopsis The Impact of Long-Term Aircraft Carrier Maintenance Scheduling on the Fleet Readiness Plan by : Matthew H. Hall
Download or read book The Impact of Long-Term Aircraft Carrier Maintenance Scheduling on the Fleet Readiness Plan written by Matthew H. Hall and published by . This book was released on 2004-09-01 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maintaining the Fleet Readiness Plan (FRP) construct of six aircraft carriers available within 30 days, plus two additional carriers available within 90 days is a difficult task. Maintenance requirements on carriers alone make satisfying the FRP a challenging scheduling problem. We develop a carrier maintenance scheduling model with a goal to meet, as best as possible, the FRP requirements over a ten-year period, while obeying simple maintenance facility constraints. This model allows us to anticipate gaps in coverage and also quantitatively assess the benefit, or burden, of resizing the fleet. We conclude that by increasing the average cycle time for a Carrier Strike Group (CSG) to 27 months we can meet the FRP requirements continuously after an initial maintenance adjustment period of 62 months.
Book Synopsis SURFSKED an Optimization Aid for Surface Combatant Inter-Deployment Scheduling by : Vern F. Wing
Download or read book SURFSKED an Optimization Aid for Surface Combatant Inter-Deployment Scheduling written by Vern F. Wing and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surface force inter-deployment scheduling process is the means by which units of the U.S Navy are slated to accomplish maintenance, training, and inspection events in preparation for planned deployments or emergent missions. The schedule objective is to maximize fleet readiness while meeting the constraints of fuel, budget, home port time, and availability of supporting services. This thesis provides a computerized model (SURFSKED) to assist schedulers in the optimization of the inter-deployment schedule. A set-partitioning model is used in a two-stage heuristic process to minimize scheduling costs subject to constraints on support assets. The model is tested using a combination of actual and hypothetical data for 96 ships of the Pacific Fleet. The test runs include 88 event types and generate 13 week (one quarter) schedules. (Author).

Book Synopsis Applied Simulation and Optimization 2 by : Miguel Mujica Mota
Download or read book Applied Simulation and Optimization 2 written by Miguel Mujica Mota and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the author’s earlier Applied Simulation and Optimization, this book presents novel methods for solving problems in industry, based on hybrid simulation-optimization approaches that combine the advantages of both paradigms. The book serves as a comprehensive guide to tackling scheduling, routing problems, resource allocations and other issues in industrial environments, the service industry, production processes, or supply chains and aviation. Logistics, manufacturing and operational problems can either be modelled using optimization techniques or approaches based on simulation methodologies. Optimization techniques have the advantage of performing efficiently when the problems are properly defined, but they are often developed through rigid representations that do not include or accurately represent the stochasticity inherent in real systems. Furthermore, important information is lost during the abstraction process to fit each problem into the optimization technique. On the other hand, simulation approaches possess high description levels, but the optimization is generally performed through sampling of all the possible configurations of the system. The methods explored in this book are of use to researchers and practising engineers in fields ranging from supply chains to the aviation industry.

Download or read book A Methodology for Estimating the Effect of Aircraft Carrier Operational Cycles on the Maintenance Industrial Base written by and published by . 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.
