Abstract
THRUPUT II is a linear programming
model developed at the Naval Postgraduate
School for the U.S. Air
Force Studies and Analyses Agency (AFSAA)
to help improve the efficiency of the
airlift mobility system. It determines the
maximum on-time throughput of cargo
and passengers that can be transported
with a given aircraft fleet over a given network,
subject to appropriate physical and
policy constraints. THRUPUT II was used
in the analysis provided by AFSAA to the
C-17 Defense Acquisition Board in November,
1995. This paper reviews the model's
formulation, describes its use in the C-17
analysis, and reports extensions that have
been developed since the model's first appearance.
