Methodological Approach to Effectiveness Assessment in Naval OT and E Projects,

Abstract

The report presents a methodological approach which can be used in performing effectiveness assessment in Naval operational test and evaluation projects. The steps in the approach presented include: (1) a comparison of platform roles versus mission area, operational capability and suboperational capability, (2) an identification of systems, subsystems and/or equipments versus operational and suboperational capability, (3) an identification of functions necessary versus operational and suboperational capability, (4) recognition and consideration of the hierarchy that exists between operational and suboperational capabilities, (5) selection of measures of effectiveness (MOE's) based on functions performed, and (6) an identification of test data requirements according to MOE formulation. Illustrative applications are presented at the platform level for the case of a nuclear attack submarine and a destroyer, and at the system level for a nuclear attack submarine fire control system.
