The DAOR Search and Rescue (SAR) Helicopter Transit Model was developed to support the specification of minimum operating capabilities for a replacement SAR helicopter. For given set of helicopter characteristics and operating bases, the Model determines the optimal flight paths and transit times to travel to a distribution of available refuelling sites spread across the country. The Model was developed for the MULTICS computer system and used extensively to support the definition of the statement of requirements for a new SAR helicopter. After the statement of requirements for the SAR helicopter was approved, the Helicopter Transit Model was not used for some time. In that time the MULTICS system ceased operation. In 1994, there was once again a requirement for the SAR Helicopter Transit Model. As the compute:r system for which the Model was designed was no longer operating, the Model has to be implemented on another computer system. The SAR Helicopter Transit Model was modified and implemented on a SUN Workstation. During the implementation process, the capabilities of the Model were enhanced. This report documents the DAOR SAR Helicopter Transit Model and the work performed to return the Model to operational status. The report describes the procedures used by the Model to determine optimal flight paths and transit times. The report also provides a user guide to operate the Model.
