The Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center (NSAWC) asked the Center for Naval Analyses to help evaluate and analyze carrier and air wing sortie- generation capacity. Specifically, we set out to determine the firepower capacity of an embarked air wing, the factors that constrain the sortie- generation capacity, and ways to enhance the fire power capacity. In this paper, we create a base case focusing on the three major requirements of the creation of sea-based air power: the aircraft must be mission capable, the aircrew must ready aircraft for flight, launch aircraft, and recover aircraft after the airframes, the aircrew, and the carrier and air wing's ability to launch, recover, and ready aircraft for launch rely on the characteristics of the base case.
