Book Description
Air travel within the Department of Defense (DoD) has the potential of being reinvented due to the disruptive technology of microjets. These smaller, more efficient aircraft will be able to provide cost effective point to point travel to their users. Along with this new way of travel comes the challenge of managing the customer requests, large networks of jets, personnel and support activities. Decision Support Systems (DSS) can help manage these networks by attempting to create optimized scheduling solutions for routing aircraft, crews and logistical support needed to successfully operate in this new environment. The opportunity exists for the DoD's private aircraft operation, the Joint Operational Support Airlift Center (JOSAC), to utilize some of the same system features used in commercial operations such as NetJets to improve operations. This thesis will analyze the use of commercial air operator strategies and DSS "s to be used in JOSAC to improve operational effectiveness. It will look to add new capabilities and processes used in commercial DSS "s along with the implementation of the disruptive technology, microjets. Some of the potential benefits include improved operational performance, solutions to scheduling inefficiencies and improved mission readiness. With these improvements the potential for a military microjet operation in the future is a real possibility.
