Avionics Evaluation Program: Multiple Aircraft, Multiple Sorties and Cost Accumulation

Abstract

An updated version of the air-to-ground Avionics Evaluation Program (AEP) has been developed. The AEP provides a mechanism for assessing the mission impact of varying avionics hardware configurations. This program is a Monte Carlo simulation of a flight of aircraft (up to four) through a specified number of days of operation. Functions considered include ground maintenance, communication, navigation, refueling, target acquisition, and weapon delivery. The present effort incorporated imperfect equipment monitoring, multiple aircraft, multiple sorties, and cost accumulation. The previous framework for consideration of hardware reliability and backup modes has been retained. The interactive graphics processor has been updated. A more convenient technique for accessing hardware and function data has been incorporated. More flexibility has been added to the output processor to allow selective display of simulation results.
