Missions and Means Framework (MMF) Demonstration: The Storyboard Model

Abstract

In the Missions and Means Framework (MMF), platform state is represented by its current capabilities, which can be compared to current task requirement(s), instead of by a weighted average of probability of having/not having functionality to perform randomly selected mission. Better representation of residual platform and (ultimately) unit capabilities throughout simulation should enable better representation of resource allocation/reallocation. The decomposition of missions into low-level tasks allows cleaner and simpler modeling of alternative means for completing them. This capability supports higher-fidelity and more relevant analysis. MMF demonstrated the linkage from low-level state changes to task/mission success.
