Probability of Effects for Systems

Abstract

SUMMARY: (1) Use VFT techniques to determine desired effects at the various levels of objects and functions, and to define other important constraints and metrics; (2) Use functional analysis techniques from systems engineering to analyze target systems; (3) Use vulnerability analysis to link effects, objects, and actions, and to derive P(e); (4) Use a hybrid of functional and object relationship representations to derive the "mathematical effect chain" for the effect desired; (5) Include all relevant effects and uncertainties into an "Effects Vector" for COA comparison.
