A User Definable SLAM Airfield Model Designed for Experimentation and Analysis. Volume II

Abstract

This research effort was undertaken to investigate a methodology for determining the most critical elements on a fighter-bomber airbase with respect to sorties generated over a three-day period. The methodology is founded on a user definable computer simulation model written in SLAM (FORTRAN based) and supported by several FORTRAN routines. The remainder of the methodology entails the use of factorial experimental designs for examining airfield element criticality. The airfield elements are the experimental factors. They are set to user specified levels according to the experimental design. The model produces a single response variable-sorties generated over a three-day period. Results are analyzed with common statistical techniques (Method of Contrasts, ANOVA, Duncan's Multiple Range Test). Special attention was placed on documentation of the model to insure ease of implementation by a user. Model usage is demonstrated with two experiments and their analysis.
