A Method for Determining the Allocation of Systems Necessary to Achieve a Specified Unit Effectiveness Requirement.

Abstract

A single-pass computer model has been developed that utilizes reliability, availability and maintainability design parameters to predict the system effectiveness of a system. The resulting system effectiveness value is used to predict the quantity of systems that should be placed within a tactical unit to achieve a specified unit effectiveness requirement. The model predicts a 'most likely' quantity that would be required and also performs a 'worst-case' and 'best-case' analysis to provide pessimistic and optimistic predictions.
