A Structural Approach to Military Air Transportation

Abstract

During the next critical decade, what will be the nature and magnitude of the major military airlift missions. In a period of rapid technological change and greatly augmented commercial airlift resources, what will be the best combination of aircraft and trained personnel to perform these missions. These issues must be resolved within the next few years, regardless of the outcome of the current controversy, in order to build an effective military air transport system for the next decade. This paper discusses the use of various operations research techniques to help resolve these issues.
