Simulation and Experiments to Determine Communications Impact on Performance Measures in Logistics. Task 2. Communication Performance/External Aircraft Fuel Tank Availability Tradeoffs
Abstract
The objective of this delivery order was to establish an estimate of the impact of communications on performance measures relating to the logistical aspects of theater-level war games and fleet exercises, and the physical distribution of critical components to support C2 operations during sustained periods of naval combat operations. The contractor shall define a set of logistics performance measures to model the effectiveness of logistics systems and procedures within the context of joint theater-level war games and fleet exercises. The contractor shall perform the required modifications to the physical distribution system computer simulation model FTANKS to provide for the assembly, recovery, and reuse of disposable external aircraft fuel tanks during combat operations. The contractor shall provide a design of a portable fuel tank automated assembly system for demonstrating the feasibility of use of such an assembly system within an aircraft carrier battle group for assembly of nestable, disposable external aircraft fuel tanks during combat.
