In this thesis, drag and performance data from the A-7E
Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization
Manual (NATOPS) were reduced to a series of analytical expressions
and implemented in a mission planning program. The program
was designed to be compatible with desk-top calculators
(64K memory) of the type used in aircraft carrier Strike
Operations Centers and to be interactive, so that air wing and
operations personnel may use it regularly for mission planning
All or part of 15 NATOPS performance charts were reduced
using math modeling techniques which included curve- f i t ting
and cross-plotting coefficients. Program implementation was
demonstrated on an IBM 3033 using a Waterloo BASIC compiler,
and the program was checked for accuracy and operational suitability
by a sample group of Navy attack pilots.
