Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) has continuing efforts to modernize its airlift and tanker fleets by investing billions of dollars to modify legacy airlift systems, such as the C-5 and C-130, and procure new aircraft, such as a tanker replacement. Acquisition has been on GAO's list as a high risk area since 1990. Past GAO reports, including two recently issued, raise concerns about the quality of analyses underpinning the programmatic decision-making surrounding DOD's airlift requirements. GAO has reported that elements contributing to a sound business case for an acquisition are missing or incomplete as DOD and the services attempt to acquire new capabilities. Those elements include firm requirements, mature technologies, a knowledge-based acquisition strategy, a realistic cost estimate, and sufficient funding. Acquisition problems that include failure to limit cost growth, schedule delays, and quantity reductions persist, but fiscal realities will not allow budgets to accommodate these problems any longer. This testimony addresses (1) the analyses supporting the Department of Defense's (DOD) mobility capabilities and requirements and (2) actions that are needed to improve the outcomes of weapon system acquisitions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fire managers face two interrelated problems in deciding the most efficient use of air tankers: where best to base them, and how best to reallocate them each day in anticipation offireoccurrence. A computerized model based on a mixed integer linear program can help in assigning air tankers throughout the fire season. The model was tested using information from California Division (now Department) of Forestry District I, which in 1967 maintained a fleet of five aircraft and three air bases. The results confirmed the soundness of the model's mathematical structure and demonstrated that a computer program can be written to interpret the solution to this resource allocation problem.

This book was released on 2000-06-01 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tanker Airlift Control Center (TACC) is the central execution agency for determining and tasking all AMC operational mission requirements. Central to the TACC is the mission management function that organizes, plans, directs and controls AMC airlift and air refueling missions worldwide. As it moves into the future, TACC must adopt emerging capabilities in communication, navigation, and surveillance to allow it to continue to freely operate throughout the world air traffic system. To position itself for future operations, the TACC has implemented the Mobility 2000 initiative, a key element of which is the planned introduction of Integrated Flight Management, or IFM. Central to IFM will be the introduction of the flight dispatch function - a proactive, real time command and control system patterned after that used by commercial airlines. At this time, TACC leaders are unsure whether to organize the future flight dispatch operation based on geography, product line or aircraft type. This Graduate Research Project explores these organizational options, and specifically seeks to identify criteria that TACC can use in deciding on a final organizational structure. To assist in this process, it evaluates the organizational issues in the context of the Rational Decision Making Model as discussed by Griffin.

Book excerpt: Global air mobility is an American invention. During the twentieth century, other nations developed capabilities to transport supplies and personnel by air to support deployed military forces. But only the United States mustered the resources and will to create a global transport force and aerial refueling aircraft capable of moving air and ground combat forces of all types to anywhere in the world and supporting them in continuous combat operations. Whether contemplating a bomber campaign or halting another surprise attack, American war planners have depended on transport and tanker aircraft to launch, reinforce, and sustain operations. Air mobility has also changed the way the United States relates to the world. American leaders use air mobility to signal friends and enemies of their intent and ability to intervene, attack, or defend on short notice and powerfully. Stateside air wings and armored brigades on Sunday can be patrolling the air of any continent on Wednesday and taking up defensive positions on a friend's borders by Friday. This capability affects the diplomacy and the calculations of America and its friends and enemies alike. Moreover, such global mobility has made America the world's philanthropist. From their earliest days, American airlift forces have performed thousands of humanitarian missions, dropping hay to snow-bound cattle, taking stranded pilgrims to Mecca, and delivering food and medicine to tsunami stricken towns. Air Mobility examines how air power elevated the American military's penchant for speed and ability to maneuver to an art unequalled by any other nation. Is charitable giving more about satisfying the needs of the donor or those of the recipient? The answer, according to Friedman, is both, and Reinventing Philanthropy provides the essential tools for maximizing the impact of one's donations.
