Research abstract

Based on market research and customer interaction, FuelerLinx discovered USAF entities face difficulty 1.) finding current fuel procurement options (prices, vendors, locations) for upcoming missions 2.) discovering alternative fuel stops that may be more advantageous to the USAF and 3. calculating optimal fuel plans, given all variability that arises from finding and discovering fuel possibilities. Based on market research and early customer interaction, FuelerLinx believes its successful commercial technology can be adapted and used to save the USAF significant amounts of Airmen-hours and fuel cost. FuelerLinx reduces the time and effort and cost for aircraft transiting between two or more locations by acting as a pricing lookup table for all approved fuel vendors, allowing for automated dispatching, accounting, and reconciliation, and allowing airmen to perform multi-leg tankering calculations with the click of a button. FuelerLinx technology frees up more Airmen-hours to pursue other tasks while decreasing fuel costs, cutting the administrative burden, and saving time while operating aircraft. FuelerLinx could help make the USAF more mission ready by adopting our proven innovative tankering software technology.
