Description: Suppose an aircraft carrier is in transit to an assigned position within strike range of a      designated target, and is required to be there at a specified time. The carrier may use      aircraft assets for defense against threats that may be encountered en route, but doing so      will encumber the carrier's progress toward the required objective. We present a highly      detailed integer programming model for scheduling aircraft launches and recoveries, so as      to achieve an optimal balance between the conflicting needs of self protection and on-time      arrival. Optimization, Aircraft carriers, Scheduling Flight Operations.
