Determination of weapon system availability in the USAF is a continuing problem. Availability estimates drive logistic support requirements, manpower levels, and eventually the number of weapons required to meet mission requirements. After reviewing existing analytical and computer simulation models, the authors felt there was a need for a missile-specific computer simulation model based on maintainability and reliability data which would allow USAF managers to realistically estimate weapon system availability. Using the simulation language Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique for modeling Queues (Q-GERT), the authors constructed a Q-GERT network representing a tactical missile operation scenario, using existing AGM-65A/B data. The Q-GERT simulation model combines reliability and maintainability inputs and provides a comprehensive management tool for estimating availability, analyzing the impact of fluctuating logistics support levels, reliabilities, and variations in maintenance times. The concepts behind the AGM-65 availability model can be used to model a number of USAF weapon, systems with minor modifications.
