SARSIM is a simulation which mimics the actual operation of the Coast Guard search and rescue system and records its aggregate behavior. The most promising (near-optimal) configuration can be identified by repeating the experiment for various resource and crew allocations and comparing the performances. Historical data was used to form the basis for occurrence distributions. The data base provides invaluable input to a model of this type in which many dependent occurrences affect the outcome of the activities monitored by the simulation. Statistic such as utilization factors, service times, waiting times, response times and various cost figures are tallied during each exercise to provide a measure of system performance under alternative mixtures of resources and crews. A measure of effectiveness (MOE) was derived to enable the experimenter to make multiple runs in an exploratory mode. The accumulated average of the resource cost per distance multiplied by the number of incidents in queue awaiting service was calculated for each station. Overall mission performance, consisting of a sequence of basic activities, was synthesized using a time profile for each candidate resource.
