Abstract

Combined problems for the transport fleet in the armed forces organization are often used when the speed of developments of new war technologies as well as the establishment of new navigation systems; The command of the armed forces has made it necessary to modernize the operational facilities and decommission the old and ineffective military systems during a pre-planned period of time. In this research, to solve the combined problem of the war fleet, a stable optimization model is proposed to the decision makers of the defense affairs of the armed forces using simulation tools in order to improve and upgrade the military transport fleet. The objective function in the proposed model provides a way to minimize the cost of the entire military transport fleet while taking into account all the constraints, as well as the optimal movement and timely transfer of troops and weapons to operational areas. The findings of this research show that the development of the proposed approach can maximize the efficiency of the military fleet by minimizing the cost and time by presenting two possible scenarios in the Mojah area. In this research, it is also discussed to provide an option to optimize the calculation rate using meta-innovative algorithms.
