DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE OTTAWA (ONTARIO)

This report examines the relationship between the likelihood of overall mission completion and the number of pilots assigned to the executing force for a set of generic but typical force employment scenarios. The scenarios were created in cooperation with A3 Fighter. The effects of factors such as seasonal variation in illness rates and day length, mission duration and intensity and aircraft serviceability are considered. The primary result is a set of tables indicating the probability of achieving various levels of mission completion as a function of the factors indicated above.
