Optimal scheduling of fighter aircraft maintenance
The effective scheduling of fighter aircraft maintenance in the Air Force is crucial to overall mission accomplishment. An effective maintenance scheduling policy maximizes the use of maintenance resources and aircraft availability. Currently, maintenance scheduling is a time consuming process that …

Applications of the Technology Acceptance Model to Integration of the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System in Fighter Aircraft Operations
<p>The leading cause of F-16 fighter aircraft and fighter pilot losses is ground collisions. In an effort to curb this hazard, an automatic ground collision avoidance system (AGCAS) was formally fielded for use in routine U.S. Air Force active-duty F-16 operations in 2014. AGCAS uses a high-level …
