Abstract:

In order to increase the carrier aircraft launch efficiency at a higher level of maintenance availability, a statistical optimization model supporting the availability constraints and its corresponding heuristic algorithms are proposed to generate the carrier a ircraft launch plan and the planed maintenance of the equipments. Furthermore, the simulation of condition based maintenance and breakdown maintenance are designed in the fitness evaluation function of heuristic algorithms by the means of simulation based optimization to improve the robustness of the generated carrier aircraft launch plan. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can provide a stable and robust reference scheduling plan without unnecessary rescheduling.

Key words: carrier aircraft, aviation support, availability, equipment maintenance, simulation based optimization
