Sortie Generation Simulation of a Fighter Squadron

Abstract

The Turkish Air Force utilizes several fighter squadrons to enhance its military capabilities. One of the most critical challenges for these squadrons is generating sorties to meet the currency and demand during both peacetime and wartime. This sortie generation process directly affects the success of both training and operations. In this study, this process is assessed using a discrete event simulation. Air Force decision makers require a simulation tool to conduct what-if analysis on how potential changes in the environment affect an F-16 fighter squadrons sortie generation process. Creating a usable simulation provides decision makers with a flexible tool to analyze and evaluate the possible scenarios. The model assists in determining new concepts to provide benefits over current systems. These benefits may include increased operational availability and better system performance.
