FY2010 presented unique challenges to the Department of Defense and specifically in the Department of the Navy, with the call to ensure that a 1% to 3% real growth is realized through a tail to tooth reappropriation of future funds for the continuation of innovations and combat operations. The naval aviation training program, under the management of the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA), is on the tail end of this analogy, indirectly supporting combat operations through the training of student naval aviators (SNAs) from the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard services with training offered for limited number of students from the Air Force and foreign nations. The purpose of this project is to model the naval aviation helicopter pilot training program as a supply chain with the output of one stage of production providing the input of the next. Batch arrivals of selected naval aviators, pooling between stages, attritions, and squadron utilization rates combine to make this problem a complex model to quantify. The proposed model accounts for above mentioned factors and is validated through historical data and allows hypothetical student pooling scenarios to be tested and analyzed.
