F-15E Availability Model. Volume 1
Abstract
The F-15E Availability Model is an analysis tool used in the operational suitability evaluation of the F-15E aircraft during Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E) and Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E). The model is programmed using FORTRAN and Simulation Language for Alternative Modeling (SLAM). The model is used to evaluate the availability, mission reliability, and maintainability of a mature F-15E squadron during various scenarios. Specific parameters being evaluated include mission capable rate, sortie generation rate, break rate, fix rate, and mean repair time. The simulation model uses the information gathered during the DT&E and OT&E combined with information on the operational Tactical Air Force environment. The model was verified and validated using F-15C/D MSIP (Multistage Improvement Plan) aircraft data inputs by comparing the model output to actual field performance of the F-15C/D MSIP aircraft. Volume I includes the background, scenarios, computer language, description, assumptions, verification and validation. Volume II contains the appendices of logic flow charts, list of variables, computer code, output files and run instructions. Keywords: Jet fighters; Aircraft maintenance; Reliability maintainability availability; Computerized simulation; Test aircraft.
