V-22 and the Future of Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD): Improving the Way the Navy Re-Supplies Its Carriers and Maritime Forces
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Carrier onboard delivery (COD) mission involves the use of aircraft to ferry personnel, mail, supplies, VIPs, and high-priority cargo, such as replacement parts from shore bases to aircraft carriers. Several types of aircraft, including helicopters, have been used by navies in the COD role. Helicopters in the USN fleet have also played a major role in re-supply with the Vertical Onboard Delivery, or VOD mission element. The COD/VOD combined mission has heretofore amounted to a maritime hub-and-spoke system whereby the COD aircraft deploy the major re-supply cache to a carrier (hub), followed by distribution of supplies and personnel (spoke) to other carriers and ships using helicopters in the VOD role. The Navy is currently considering options for future COD platforms as the Greyhounds approach the end of their current service life supporting the carriers. This paper discusses the potential for improvements in cost and time executing the Navy’s carrier re-supply using the V-22 Osprey in the COD and COD/VOD combined re-supply roles.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
