Optimal Allocation of a Budget Toward Procurement of Aircraft and Ships

Abstract

In a budget allocation problem, a given budget must be allocated each year to the procurement of aircraft and ships. It is desired that this budget be allocated in such a way as to keep the force mix between aircraft and ships at some constant level. This paper develops a methodology for optimally achieving this goal and presents software capable of doing this optimization.
