Component Maintenance Planning Optimization in Defense Aviation

open access: yesAerospace, 2023
The primary objective in military aviation is to optimize operational readiness, the capability to perform assigned flight missions. This capability is influenced by aircraft downtime due to preventive maintenance at prescribed flight time intervals.

A Discrete-Continuous Algorithm for Free Flight Planning

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2020
We propose a hybrid discrete-continuous algorithm for flight planning in free flight airspaces. In a first step, our discrete-continuous optimization for enhanced resolution (DisCOptER) method computes a globally optimal approximate flight path on a ...
