TACAIR Material Readiness in Operation Allied Force
Published Date: June 1, 2001
This work was done as part of a larger study conducted for N814. The purpose of the larger study was to examine the link between mission performance and readiness drivers using data from CVN-71's combat operations during Operation Allied Force (OAF). In this part of the project, we looked specifically at material readiness of the embarked airwing (CVW-8). Our original intent was to estimate the parameters for a complete Markov model of aircraft material condition. We were unable to implement a complete realization of this model because of problems that included missing data and resource constraints. However, we were able to make substantial progress on two components of the process, and present these results.
