Force Level Automated Planning Systems (FLAPS) User's Manual.

Abstract

The Force Level Automated Planning System (FLAPS) is a stand alone computer software package developed by Systems Control Technology Inc for the United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE). FLAPS applies powerful mathematical optimization algorithms, detailed mathematical models, andlarge data base files to automaitcally perform critical force planning functions for tactical air assets. Program overall design is aimed towards assisting force planning personnel usually found at Allied Tactical Operations Centers and Allied Tactical Air Forces command headquarters. This report documents the proof-of-concept system that was initially delivered to USAFE and, as a demonstration system, shows, how modern mathematical optimization techniques and off-the-shelf computer systems can assist force planners in quickly generating operating plans with totally effective use of limited assets. Keywords: Instrucions; Data bases; Scenarios.
