A Model to Determine the Proper Sam/VIP Air Fleet

The VIP/SAM fleet at Andrews AFB supports the air transportation of the President and other Washington D.C. dignitaries. Over the last 20 years, the fleet of aircraft have changed in type and numbers. Currently, the fleet cannot support all the requests for airlift it receives. This GRP looks at the aircraft currently assigned to the VIP/SAM fleet and the historical data of missions they fly. With this information and future aircraft possibilities, a model was constructed for the White House Military Office to use to determine the appropriate types and numbers of aircraft given the number of missions scheduled.
