ARROWs (Aviation Readiness Requirements Oriented to Weapon Replaceable Assemblies) Model Evaluation

Abstract

The Aviation Readiness Requirements Oriented to Weapon Replaceable Assemblies(ARROWs) model was specifically designed for Readiness Based Sparing(RBS) of aircraft. This report examines various approaches to predicting availability of aircraft that are provided by the model and compares requirement quantities computed by the Availability Centered Inventory Model(ACIM) for the SH60B and the multi-Item Multi-Echelon(MIME) model for the F14A to those computed by ARROWs for high cost, mission essential, organizational level removeables when using the same assumptions. We recommend that ARROWs be established as the RBS model for aircraft and that analysis of availability predictions be continued to enhance the credibility of these projections so that the ultimate goal of sparing to availability can be achieved.
