SOFTWARE OPTIMIZATION TECHNOLOGY OF AIRCRAFT COMPOSITION IN OPERATIONAL PLANNING IN THE AEROSPACE SEARCH AND RESCUE SYSTEM

Abstract

The article considers the software of optimization technology allowing to enhance the work of the aerospace search and rescue system in terms of making decisions on the use of aircraft. Due to the fact that at the moment the scientifically based principles of making operational decisions for optimal distribution and attraction of aircraft to search and rescue are not completely developed, especially with the use of automated processes, such decisions are made on the basis of the personal experience of the head of search and rescue (HSR). The article provides an analysis of domestic developments in the field of information and technical support for search and rescue (SAR), an algorithm for decision-making based on factors influencing the choice of search and rescue forces and assets. Software implemented on the visual programming tool Visual Basic for Applications is presented; it provides the mathematical model of the aircraft optimization for: the minimum expenditure of funds based on the theory of linear programming, the minimum examination time of given area and the probability of failure-free operation with a forecast of meteorological conditions for three days. The results of calculations are presented in the form of recommendations with graph-analytic explanations for each block of optimization to reflect the full "picture" of the forecasted search and rescue operation (SAR). The realized integrated approach in the software is able to provide unified recommendations for the RPFS not only during operational planning, but also in the organization of transport tasks, monitoring and delivery of humanitarian cargo. This allows the governing bodies to give the best recommendations (on the basis of the "efficiency-quality-economical efficiency" principle) and, if necessary, to formulate scientifically based offers on the use of forces and assets in the aerospace search and rescue system
