Abstract
Mission effectiveness, which is the probability of successfully completing the assigned mission, is introduced as an appropriate measure of effectiveness for a military system. The model of mission effectiveness is developed for a system which is required to carry out various types of a mission. Each mission type is characterized by the maximum allowable time that determines the success of a given mission type. A given type of a mission is successful if and only if (i) the system is available at the start of a mission and (ii) the system completes its mission within the maximum allowable duration of time that this given mission type specifies without any failure during this period. Both analytic and simulation approaches are employed. Difficulties involved in the anayticl approach are discussed. The model is proposed as a useful tool for consistent system evaluation and optimum test design.
