Optimal allocation of Pacific Fleet patrol aircraft among selected deployment sites.
optimalallocatio00mass.pdf (2.981Mb)Abstract
A methodology is developed which determines the optimal
allocation of patrol forces among selected deployment sites. The
procedure uses a linear programming algorithm which minimizes a
linear cost function, subject to restraining equations representing
the total hours available, the relationship between on-station and
transit hours, and base loading . A computer program is presented
which translates input data into the format required by the IBM
Mathematical Programming System/360 for the problem solution. The
methodology can be utilized to determine the allocation of forces
among selected bases, reallocation of forces when a base or bases
must be removed from consideration, and the effect of utilizing
additional bases.
