Abstract
Students and faculty in the Operations Research Department at the Naval Postgraduate School and researchers at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, Virginia, have been developing an automated decision support tool for the Navy to optimally allocate to firing units tasks requiring Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAMs). A new type of TLAM firing unit, the nuclear-powered cruise-missile submarine (SSGN), will soon be operational. An SSGN will be able to carry a maximum of 154 TLAMs. This report describes how to incorporate the SSGN into the existing TLAM allocation decision support algorithm.
