The Impact of FASTSHIP and High Speed Sealift on Strategic Sealift
The commercial sealift industry is breaking free of the constraints of traditional hull designs that characterize present vessels. Several alternative designs are being developed to fulfill the need for high speed, heavy payload capable, long distance transportation. One such design, FASTSHIP is thought to be capable of speeds of 45 knots, carrying 8000 long tons, over 5000 nautical miles. This paper uses a combination of spreadsheet based linear programming (LP) and genetic algorithms (GA) to find the best mix of a military application of FASTSHIP's capabilities in strategic sealift. Using data and requirements from past Mobility Requirements Studies (MRS), the Excel based Sealift Optimization Model finds a minimum Net Present Value (NPV) cost mix of sealift ships needed to meet given requirements of cargo and containers within a specified time period subject to several constraints. Various acquisition methods are explored in the determination of cost to include buy, lease, and joint commercial use. Analysis of the model output validates that the current sealift mix is sufficient, however FASTSHIP may provide added capability to meet increased requirements at a cost with a commercial joint venture offering the least cost solution, especially if the Ready Reserve Force (RRF) is allowed to decrease.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

C-5 Channel Delays
The C-5 Galaxy is a key contributor to channel mission success, but delays have plagued operations and reduced the effectiveness and efficiency of deliveries to the warfighter. Inappropriate manning levels and performance measurement techniques have hampered maintenance efforts at home-station and enroute locations. Additionally, current mission management practices increase the perception of unreliability in the C-5. However, even when considering only new and unique situations, the Galaxy has an inordinate number of crew and maintenance delays that are characterized by an excessive severity. This research attempted to establish a correlation between the propagation and severity of C-5 mission delays in the channel system and five distinct (but not independent) variables. The variables considered were aircraft type, aircraft home station, aircrew service component, departure location, and combat status. The researcher was unable to demonstrate a correlation with any level of significance. However, the results set a baseline for comparison between mission variables and provide inputs to a tool that can be used to predict the severity of delays that may occur. The researcher developed an Excel-based instrument that uses historical data to predict delay severity based on given values for only those variables considered in this study.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Analyzing Inter-Theater Airlift for 2020
This study attempts to answer the question, what issues should the next mobility study examine to determine the appropriate inter-theater airlift force structure in the year 2020? In 1998, the Air Force commissioned a Mobility Requirements Study called MRS-05 that attempted to predict future airlift requirements. The results of this study set in motion a plan to meet this predicted requirement, but the world has changed and many of those changes may affect inter-theater airlift's ability to meet those requirements - at least in its current posture. These changes fall into three general categories: the international environment, strategy, and specific mission employment.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Dynamic Flow Management Problems in Air Transportation
In 1995, over six hundred thousand licensed pilots flew nearly thirty-five million flights into over eighteen thousand U.S. airports, logging more than 519 billion passenger miles. Since demand for air travel has increased by more than 50% in the last decade while capacity has stagnated, congestion is a problem of undeniable practical significance. In this thesis, we will develop optimization techniques that reduce the impact of congestion on the national airspace. We start by determining the optimal release times for flights into the airspace and the optimal speed adjustment while airborne taking into account the capacitated airspace. This is called the Air Traffic Flow Management Problem (TFMP). We address the complexity, showing that it is NP-hard. We build an integer programming formulation that is quite strong as some of the proposed inequalities are facet defining for the convex hull of solutions. For practical problems, the solutions of the LP relaxation of the TFMP are very often integral. In essence, we reduce the problem to efficiently solving large scale linear programming problems. Thus, the computation times are reasonably small for large scale, practical problems involving thousands of flights. Next, we address the problem of determining how to reroute aircraft in the airspace system when faced with dynamically changing weather conditions. This is called the Air Traffic Flow Management Rerouting Problem (TFMRP) We present an integrated mathematical programming approach for the TFMRP, which utilizes several methodologies, in order to minimize delay costs. In order to address the high dimensionality, we present an aggregate model, in which we formulate the TFMRP as a multicommodity, integer, dynamic network flow problem with certain side constraints. Using Lagrangian relaxation, we generate aggregate flows that are decomposed into a collection of flight paths using a randomized rounding heuristic.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Transportation Working Capital Funds for Tankers
The purpose of this research was to identify a way to insert market forces in the supply and demand relationship of air refueling to help decrease monetary costs. Specifically this research focused on answering two questions regarding the amount of money used to carry fuel that is scheduled to be offloaded but not taken by receiver aircraft and whether there is a program in place that can be used to help prevent excess fuel from being requested. These research questions were answered through a comprehensive literature review and analysis of one year's worth of local training sorties from an Air Mobility Command active duty KC-135 squadron. Use of the Transportation Working Capital Fund to pay for air refueling was shown to be a possible solution to bring demand more in line with the supply of air refueling assets and to bring more efficiency to the overall system. Specific monetary costs were identified and both the risks of keeping the status quo of the air refueling system and the risks of changing the system were identified and discussed.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

C-130J Logistics Problems
The Air Force incorporated the C-130J into its inventory with a commercial acquisition strategy. This decision has resulted in numerous shortfalls that Air Force logisticians are fighting everyday to overcome. Despite the acquisition community's direction and requirements involving procurement of commercial items and Defense Acquisition University guidance on incorporating the customer's requirements into a new procurement through systems engineering, the C-130J was acquired as a commercial item. It appears very little forethought was given involving operational or logistical requirements which can be much more important in an armed forces operational environment as opposed to the requirements of a commercial aircraft. This paper focuses on the logistical shortfalls revealed in test and operational environments and theorizes some of these problems could have been avoided with more or better logistician involvement during the design, development, and testing process and a more intense focus on reliability, maintainability, and supportability. Active duty, Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve personnel were essential in outlining some of the problems they face today. Ordinary research revealed several sources which described the operational shortfalls of the C-130J, but very little is publicly known about the numerous obstacles Air Force logisticians are working to overcome. The author argues that the Air Force acquisition community cannot expect logisticians to continually excel when logistical requirements are not given the utmost importance during aircraft procurement and must change the acquisition process to ensure logistics is not forgotten.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Multiple Integrated Navigation Sensors for Improved Occupancy Grid Fastslam
An autonomous vehicle must accurately observe its location within the environment to interact with objects andaccomplish its mission. When its environment is unknown, the vehicle must construct a map detailing its surroundingswhile using it to maintain an accurate location. Such a vehicle is faced with the circularly defined SimultaneousLocalization and Mapping (SLAM) problem. However difficult, SLAM is a critical component of autonomous vehicleexploration with applications to search and rescue. To current knowledge, this research presents the first SLAM solutionto integrate stereo cameras, inertial measurements, and vehicle odometry into a Multiple Integrated Navigation Sensor(MINS) path. The implementation combines the MINS path with LIDAR to observe and map the environment using theFastSLAM algorithm. In real-world tests, a mobile ground vehicle equipped with these sensors completed a 140 meterloop around indoor hallways. This SLAM solution produces a path that closes the loop and remains within 1 meter oftruth, reducing the error 92% from an image-inertial navigation system and 79% from odometry FastSLAM.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

A Comprehensive Examination of the Civil Reserve Airfleet
The United States of America has entered the twenty-first century fighting a war against terrorism. Terrorists are an enemy that can suddenly appear anywhere in the world with little or no warning, and then quickly disappear into the concealment of society only to wait for another opportunity to strike again. The 2002 National Security Strategy (NSS) of the United States describes terrorism as "different from any other war in our history".1 The NSS goes on to explain that the United States must "continue to transform our military forces to ensure our ability to conduct rapid and precise operations to achieve decisive results".2 Because it is difficult to predict when or where a terrorist attack might occur against the United States, or one of its allies, it is imperative that the United States military have the capability to quickly respond to terrorist attacks anywhere around the globe. The National Defense Strategy of The United States of America emphasizes this point by stating, "a key goal is developing the Capability to surge military forces rapidly from strategic distances to deny adversaries sanctuary".This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Air Mobility Command's En Route Support Infrastructure
The ability of the United States Armed Forces to maintain a global presence and rapidly project military power anywhere in the world are key factors in preserving our freedom. To accomplish the demanding task of global reach support, Air Mobility Command employs an en route support infrastructure. These en route locations provide varying levels of command, control, and communications (C3), logistics support, and aerial port functions. The goal of the en route is to minimize delays for AMC mission aircraft. However, these en route locations comprise a small percentage of the locations that AMC aircraft visit. Given the critical demand for rapid air mobility, potential impact of mission delays or cancellations, and the substantial investment of taxpayer dollars, AMC must provide logistical support to off-station aircraft in the most effective manner possible. This research examined a 5-year historical summary of AMC's logistical support process. The resulting data was used to perform a statistical analysis of AMC off-station aircraft logistic support records for AMC's six primary aircraft fleets (C-5, C-17, C-141, C-130, KC-10, and KC-135). The calculated average not mission capable (NMC) time was used to compare overseas en route and non en route locations to assess AMC's en route infrastructure's effectiveness in reducing mission delays due to aircraft maintenance problems. Effectiveness, in the context of this research, was measured in terms of a lower or shorter average NMC time, equating to reduced mission delays. The initial data analysis on OCONUS en route and non en route locations provided a macro level assessment based on location only. A closer investigation on iv each of the six primary AMC aircraft fleets returned varying results in terms of reduced averaged NMC time.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Air Refueling
This paper focuses on the strategic mobility aspect of Global Reach-Global Power, and more specifically the role of air refueling in accomplishing the US power projection strategy. No aircraft in the Air Force inventory is capable of responsive global power projection without air refueling. The Air Force's tanker fleet is the cornerstone of Global Reach-Global Power. Air refueling serves as a force multiplier, increasing the speed, range, lethality, flexibility, and versatility of combat aircraft.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Enough Already
A Program Decision Memorandum (PDM) was issued by the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition on 22 December 2005 directing the Army and Air Force to form a Joint (FCA/LCA) Program Office (JPO). This program has been designated the Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA) and stood up in Huntsville, Alabama, on 4 August 2006. Subsequently, the JPO incorporated the Memorandum of Agreement signed by the Army and Air Force into the JCA CDD that was approved by the JROC on 19 April 2007. Finally, on 13 Jun 2007, the team comprised of L-3 Communications, Finmeccanica's Alenia North America and Boeing was awarded a firm fixed-price contract for up to 78 C-27J aircraft to be manufactured as the JCA. This ushered in a new era of cooperative, joint acquisition of an aviation platform to perform a role and mission, namely intra-theater airlift, which both the Army and the Air Force claim to have responsibility. In light of current budgetary pressures, the Air Force proposed to examine the need to eliminate the overlap in intra-theater airlift capability between the Army and Air Force.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

The CV-22 "Osprey" and the Impact on Air Force Combat Search and Rescue
This paper answers the following question: How will the CV-22's unique qualities advance the state of the art of Air Force CSAR? Conducting the CSAR mission with the CV-22 will eradicate current mission deficiencies and enhance execution through advances in Combat Search and Rescue Task Force and command and control doctrine. In addition to evolving current doctrine to enhance CSAR, the CV-22 will lead to new CSAR capabilities and doctrine. Finally, the CV-22 will enhance two Air Force core competencies: global attack and rapid global mobility.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Effects Of Contoured Pallets on AMC Mission Efficiency
Research analyzed cargo moved on 747s and MD-11s between Dover AFB and Incirlick AB in FY2009 to determine effects of redistributing cargo from cubes to contoured shapes. The research analyzed pallet build strategies to ensure that MD-11 missions were not cancelled due to lack of available contour-compatible cargo while other, full-cubed cargo was available. Data obtained from Air Mobility Command was used to construct 4 models examining redistribution effects. The data consisted of over 22,000 pallets moved on over 600 missions. The models demonstrated opportunities to restructure cargo exist with the potential to not only avoid future costs due to cancellation fees but also increase system efficiency as a whole.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Defense Transportation System
The Defense Transportation System (DTS) is a robust collection of capabilities that provide the United States with a powerful tool to implement policy in peacetime and wartime. This system is a critical link to our foreign policy and must be managed properly to realize the greatest effectiveness. One of the key pillars in the system is the ability to prioritize assets as they are entered into the system. This paper reviews the effectiveness of the priority system, how it is implemented, and some possible enhancements. The study addresses how property is currently prioritized as it enters the DTS, what the limitations are of the current system and recommended solutions. The current system has different guidance depending on the type of cargo that is being moved. DOD provides specific guidance for property that is requested through the Services' supply systems under military standard requisitioning and issue procedures (MILSTRIP). However, the guidance is not clear for non-MILSTRIP cargo. This lack of standard guidance and abuse of the priority system causes the DTS to become overwhelmed with high priority cargo during major operations. This causes a situation where the true theater priorities can not be determined and the ports are forced to use a "first-in-first-out" policy. This policy does not necessarily support the combatant commander's needs or efficiently utilize limited airlift. By utilizing the uniform materiel movement and issue priority system (UMMIPS) as the guidance for all cargo shipped through the DTS, the priority system will reflect the supported commander's needs. However we must properly train our personnel and enforce compliance to ensure the system remains effective.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Magnetic Field Aided Indoor Navigation
Many current aiding methods do not work well in an indoor environment, like aiding using the Global Positioning System. The method presented in this research uses magnetic field intensity data from a three-axis magnetometer in order to estimate position using a maximum - likelihood approach. The position measurements are then combined with a motion model using a Kalman filter. The magnetic field navigation algorithm is tested using a combination of simulated and real measurements. The result of these tests show that the position aiding algorithm is capable of generating positon estimates from real data within less than 1 meter of the true trajectory, with most estimates .3 meters away from the true trajectory in a laboratory hallway environment. To further explore the capabilities of the position aiding algorithm, a leader-follower scenario is implemented. In this scenario, the follower uses magnetic field intensity data collected by the leader to estimate its current position and attempt to follow the leader's trajectory. The results show that tracking is possible, and that the measurement span of the leader has a large impact on the result.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

The Military Airport Program
Throughout U.S. aviation history, military aviation has shared numerous links to civil aviation. This report summarizes some of that shared history, and briefly describes significant legislation from the early 1900's through modern day issues. Furthermore, it specifically addresses the origin and development of the Military Airport Program, one of five designated set-aside funds under the Airport Improvement Program. Legislatively established in fiscal year 1991, the intent of the program was to take advantage of the numerous existing facilities at military bases identified for realignment or closure under Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), and to convert them to civil or joint-use fields for minimal cost. As such, these airfields could then relieve more congested metropolitan airfields nearby, reduce projected departure and arrival delays, and significantly contribute to the overall capacity of the United States' air transportation system. Administered by the Federal Aviation Administration, the program was harshly criticized in a General Accounting Office report in 1994. Since then, the FAA has taken numerous steps, acting upon the GAO's recommendations, to clarify and further define eligibility criteria for candidate airfields. This report will detail the GAO's investigation, conclusions, and recommendations, and compare them to the current state of the program. The author will also provide the reader with examples of the conversion process at work by briefly looking at each of the airports currently in the Military Airport Program.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

The Future of USAF Combat Search and Rescue
The genesis of this paper is based on the following concept. The need to recover isolated personnel quickly and reliability raises many policy issues about U.S. combat air search and rescue forces, not the least of which relate to the suitability of their aircraft fleet. Along these lines, this study asks the question of whether the USAF should be satisfied with its helicopter-based CSAR force for the indefinite future, or whether it should make definite plans to replace those helicopters expeditiously with tiltrotor aircraft, probably the Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey. The first part of this paper analyses the role CSAR has played in the Air Force's past and the current and future requirements of USAF CSAR forces. The conclusions reached are that both historically in times of conflict and in today's operational environment a requirement existed and will continue to exist for CSAR capabilities. Additionally, the need to react quickly over greater distances will impact the structure of tomorrow's CSAR forces. The second part of the paper analyses the impact of speed, range and survivability on the success or failure of rescue operations through the use of three case studies. The case studies indicate that in varying degrees both the planning and probability of success of rescue missions are influenced by the effects of speed, range and survivability. From a strict operational viewpoint, an aircraft that has increased speed, range and survivability would be more flexible and capable in the CSAR mission.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
