To solve the issue of the US Army Aviation’s battlefield POL assurance, this paper proceeds from the principle of fully guaranteeing the army POL supply to establish the army aviation’s POL prediction model and puts the POL parameters of US conventional helicopters into the model. Besides, this paper establishes the system flow graph of the transportation and information delay function based on System Dynamics (SD) to simulate three different battlefield situations. The transportation and information delay are formulated according to the real examples. This paper integrated them into the SD model. The simulation results show that the SD-based model can directly reflect the changing trend of various factors of the POL Assurance. Then accord the result of simulation, input different parameters can be derived the changing curve that can help to realize the computer aided decision.
