Research on the Underway Replenishment Simulation Model of a Navy Battle Group

The capability of underway replenishment (unrep) is significant to guarantee the success of the assigned mission of a navy battle group. By detailed analysis of the support process of a navy battle group's unrep, the parameters of the unrep's capability is provided and the process of the unrep is divided into two parts. The relative time models are worked out respectively. Combined with the models, the calculation flow is presented and finally, the feasibility of the models is validated by an example, and then whether the force of unrep can satisfy the mission's requirement is analyzed. The analysis result can be the basis of a naval battle group formation, and it can also be the reference for the construction of unrep forces.
