Prediction method of the maintenance resources requirement for weapon system

Traditional maintenance support model is not adapted to the future battle requirement, for it can only support a single kind of equipment or a group of equipments of the same kind. Joint support for weapon system of multi-kinds of equipments is the main fashion of maintenance support in the future. For the prediction requirement of maintenance resources of weapon system, the primary infection factors for the requirement of maintenance resources were analyzed. According to the different characteristics of maintenance resources and the analysis for the traditional classification methods, a kind of classification for weapon system's maintenance resources was given. A prediction flow for the maintenance resources requirement was designed. Four kinds of models for predicting the maintenance resources requirement in a weapon system were designed and described in detail. At last, an example was presented, which proved the applicability and feasibility of the prediction methods for weapon system resources requirement.
