Abstract:
This thesis contains an explanation, an inspection, and some proposed revisions of the Department of Defense’s Assignment Scheduling Capability for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles model. Throughout this discussion we will see some important issues relating to applied mathematics explained as well as take a look into the connection between developments and the finding of new machinery in pure mathematics and its relevance to the applied side. After I have covered the workings of the model along with the applications and benefits, I will examine some areas for improvements and propose conjectures relating to the model under the premise of relaxed assumptions.
