Simulation and Experiments to Determine Communications Impact on Performance Measures in Logistics. Task 3. Portable Aircraft Fuel Tank Assembly System Feasibility Experiments for Simulation and Model Verification
Abstract
The objective of this delivery order was to establish an estimate of the impact of communications on (1) performance measures relating to the logistical aspects of theater-level war games and fleet exercises, and on (2) the physical distribution of critical components to support C2 operations during sustained periods of naval combat operations. 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 using such an assembly system within an aircraft carrier battle group for assembly of nestable, disposable external aircraft fuel tanks during combat.
