Abstract
A computerized model has been developed to aid in studies of mission system effectiveness for aircraft carrier operations with conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL), short takeoff arrested landing (STOAL), and vertical or short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) aircraft. The model systematically evaluates sensitivities to key input parameters associated with flight deck imposed limitations on aircraft movement, handling, and scheduling of major deck cycle operations. Sorties, time on station, and airwing requirements are predicted as a function of aircraft availability over a range of target and stationkeeping radii. Results are presented for the sea control and power projection missions which indicate significant operational advantages for V/STOL aircraft operating from large deck CVN class carriers or proposed smaller aircraft carriers.
