Weapon System Availabilities for Aircraft Replenishment Spares

Abstract

The Air Force Logistics Command was to have implemented the Aircraft Availability Model (AAM) in June 1988 to compute peacetime safety levels for aircraft replenishment spares (Budget Program 15). AAM computes requirements to achieve weapon system availability targets for the AAM. We picked the targets to maximize the Air Force aircraft availability readiness position, within weapon system groupings of tactical, strategic, airlift and trainers aircraft. Using these targets, AAM achieves higher aircraft availabilities for the same total cost as the current system. The AAM targets achieve between 75 and 90 percent availability for every weapon system except in cases where the current system achieved higher than 90 percent availability for every weapon system (except in cases where the current system achieved higher than 90 percent availability for a weapon system, in which case we assign targets equal to the current system. This report also discusses implementation issues, including an automated, user-friendly tool to develop future availability targets for computing requirements and dollar-constrained budget execution.
