The EPIC evaluation model was developed as a part of the ADAFSS Force Mix study by the Research Analysis Corporation to produce the daily and cumulative expected results that might be achieved by different numbers, types and mixes of attack helicopters over extended periods of combat. The model considers operational factors (limitations on flight hours per day, maintenance time required as a function of flight time, fleet attrition over extended periods, mission availability, reliability, repair times for damaged aircraft, etc.) which are generally excluded, of necessity, from high resolution simulations that focus on helicopter/target interactions within a very narrow context. Missions to be executed-which might or might not exceed the fleet capability-were to be distributed throughout successive 24-hour time periods to reflect the time and sequence of the demand as a function of the weather and the level of combat activity. The model assigns aircraft to missions on the basis of availability and in accordance with mission assignment decisions in an actual operational context.
