A Markovian Approach to Missile Systems Test Sequencing.

Abstract

Given a new missile system, a set of required capabilities, and a limited set of testing resources, one desires to verify mission accomplishment or nonaccomplishment as efficiently as possible. There are various test environments that can be used ranging from easy tests that yield small amounts of information, to difficult tests that are more prone to failure but can provide more extensive information. This paper uses a Markovian model to investigate optimal test sequencing with a highest expected reward decision criterion.
