KFX/FX 전투기 대비 운용정보의 피드백 통합을 통한 최적 예비엔진 동적 소요 결정

초록

Through the KFX/FX project of the air force, a large number of engines will be required and secure of proper number of spare engines serves a significant role in maintaining combat readiness. Currently, all the fighters and engines are acquired at one time but military administration does not have additional procurement processes during operation period. In this paper, we presented a scheme dynamically updating spare engine requirements during operation period. We first reviewed current procedures exercised by US and Korean air forces with engine manufacturer for required number of spare engines. We developed a simulation program dynamically adjusting spare engine requirements through a feedback incorporation of operation information. At the end of each year, the program checks the performance measure and proceeds to next year when a higher result than the threshold set is recorded. Otherwise, additional engine(s) is added to the current number. Through a repeated process over the life cycle, it is seen that the proposed approach generates more realistic results appropriately avoiding undesirable situations.
