A Comparison of Models for Determining Spares Requirements for Aircraft Battle Damage Repair
Abstract
As part of the Aircraft Battle Damage Repair (ABDR) Study, CNA analysts performed research into finding an appropriate model for determining ABDR material requirements. This research memorandum documents the analysis and recommends a specific model for determining ABDR spares requirements. The overall modeling process for ABDR material requirements may be broken into two parts: (1) the development data bases for predicting battle damage rates, and (2) development of a spares model to develop ABDR spares lists from these data bases. Current Navy planning calls for these data bases for predicting battle damage rates to be developed by the Naval Weapons Center (NWC) and the Naval Air Development Center (NADC). Essentially, NWC vulnerability and susceptibility models will be used to model aircraft damage; the ABDR material required to repair each type of damage incident is determined in conjunction with NADC data bases. The end result of the process will probably be a collection of component or part-level battle damage rates. Following the development of a data base for predicting battle damage rates, NADC will use a spares model to develop ABDR allowance lists.
