SYSTEM EFFECTIVENESS: CONCEPTS, AND ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES,

Abstract

A description is presented of concepts and techniques for evaluating system effectiveness, with emphasis on aircraft systems. The model framework for quantifying a probabilistic or expected-value figure of merit for effectiveness is given. This model framework is based on matrix representation of system-state probabilities, which are analyzed through the theory of Markov processes. Techniques for optimization are discussed. Several computer procedures and FORTRAN programs for system effectiveness evaluation are included. (Author)
