Abstract

To maintain Brazil's sovereignty in the Amazon, the Brazilian Army maintains Special Border Platoons (PEF) in remote locations, where the supply of basic materials is primarily conducted via air transport, supported by the Brazilian Air Force. Using concepts from Packing Problems in Operational Research, this work presents a proposal to increase the efficiency of support operations for the PEFs through a mathematical model for loading aircraft during missions. The proposed model demonstrated a significant reduction in the number of necessary trips, optimizing load distribution and operation time. The study highlights the efficiency achieved by applying a process that considers the use of an exact optimization model and a high-performance hybrid algorithm in a case study applied to the PEFs in Surucucu and Auaris, contributing to the reduction of operational costs.
