A MACRO ANALYSIS OF MILITARY AIR TRANSPORTATION,

Abstract

Programming techniques are discussed for guidance in determining (1) the nature and magnitude of the major military airlift missions and (2) the best combination of airlift resources for performing these missions. A program was developed that selects the feasible set of airlift activities that meets a given set of mission requirements at a minimum total system cost; the total number of aircraft of a specific type in the minimum cost fleet must not exceed the sum of the beginning inventory plus the production availability.
