Airpower plays a key role in neutralizing military threats and securing victory in wars. This study analyzes newly introduced fighter forces by considering factors like performance, power index, operational environment, airbase capacity, survivability, and sustainment capability to devise an optimal deployment strategy that enhances operational efficiency and effectiveness. Using optimization methods like mixed integer programming (MIP), the study incorporates constraints such as survivability and mission criticality. The focus is on major Air Force operations, including air interdiction, defensive counter-air, close air support, and maritime operations. Experimental results show the proposed model outperforms current deployment plans in both wartime and peacetime in terms of operations and sustainment.

Airpower is a crucial force for suppressing military threats and achieving victory in wars. This study evaluates newly introduced fighter forces, considering factors such as fighter performance and power index, operational environment, capacity of each airbase, survivability, and force sustainment capability to determine the optimal deployment plan that maximizes operational effectiveness and efficiency. Research methods include optimization techniques such as MIP(mixed integer programming), allocation problems, and experimental design. This optimal allocation mathematical model is constructed based on various constraints such as survivability, mission criticality, and aircraft's performance data. The scope of the study focuses the fighter force and their operational radius is limited to major Air Force and joint operations, such as air interdiction, defensive counter-air operations, close air support, maritime operations and so on. This study aims to maximize the operational efficiency and effectiveness of fighter aircraft operations. The results of proposed model through experiments showed that it was for superior to the existing deployment plan in terms of operation and sustainment aspects when considering both wartime and peacetime.
