Graph Theoretic Algorithms for the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent Program: Prioritization and Scheduling

Abstract

The objective of this project was to develop quantitative methods to make the unified certification process for nuclear systems more rigorous and efficient. The emphasis was on the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent program because of its size and the availability of a rich dataset from its models-based systems engineering digital environment. The approaches and algorithms presented in this report should serve as a template for future nuclear programs. This report should be of interest to the nuclear community in the U.S. Air Force, but the principles and algorithms are applicable to managing any complex process.
