Mission effectiveness, which is the probability of successfully completing the assigned mission, is introduced as an appropriate measure of effectiveness for a military system. The model of mission effectiveness is developed for a system which is required to carry out various types of a mission. Each mission type is characterized by the maximum allowable time that determines the success of a given mission type. A given type of a mission is successful if and only if (i) the system is available at the start of a mission and (ii) the system completes its mission within the maximum allowable duration of time that this given mission type specifies without any failure during this period. Both analytic and simulation approaches are employed. Difficulties involved in the anayticl approach are discussed. The model is proposed as a useful tool for consistent system evaluation and optimum test design.

In this paper, a global path generation method is suggested using multiple grid maps connected with the mission type of unmanned combat vehicle(UCV). In order to carry out a mission for UCV, it is essential to find a global path which is coincident with the characteristics of the mission. This can be done by considering various combat circumstances represented as grid maps such as velocity map, threat map and communication map. Cost functions of multiple grid maps are linearly combined and normalized to them simultaneously for the path generation. The proposed method is realized using $A^*$, a well known search algorithm, and cost functions are normalized in the ratio of the traverse time which is one of critical information should be provided with the operators using the velocity map. By the experiments, it is checked found global paths match with the mission type by reflecting input data of grid maps properly and the computation time is short enough to regenerate paths in real time as combat circumstances change.

This paper deals with the mission effectiveness of an airfleet, Airfleet operating system consists of a finite number of units performing the several mission types. Earlier works for the mission effectiveness of a fleet is limited to only one mission type and computer simulation approaches. The mission effectiveness. model of a fleet is constructed by three attributes - the mission readiness of the units, the mission reliability and capability of units. The environmental conditions and human factors affecting the mission success are considered together. The solution of the model is obtained by analytical technique. Especially, AOS is considered a closed queueing network with a finite number of units and a single job class. And then, the mission readiness of the units is found by the mean value analysis. The model would be a useful tool to readily evaluate mission effectiveness of a airfleet as it is and provide a criterion for determining the optimal operating policy.

A general purpose aircraft mission performance analysis program has been developed. The program can be used in design mode or in analysis mode. Fuel weight for a given mission profile can be estimated when the design mode is chosen, while mission time or mission range for a given fuel can be estimated when the analysis mode is chosen. The mission analysis program is written with JAVA and includes GUI(Graphic User Interface) for users' conveniences. With a proper combination of databases for propulsion, aerodynamics and weight, the program can be configured to compute the performance of any type of aircraft. The program is validated by comparing its results with the results of a well known performance analysis program by ADD(Agency for Defense Development).

The origin of mission command can be traced to the era of the Prussian military reforms led by General Gerhard von Scharnhorst after defeats in battle of Jena and Auerstadt in 1806 against Napoleon I. Mission Command is the conduct of military operations through decentralized execution based upon mission-type orders. Commanders issue mission-type orders focused on the purpose of the operation rather than details of how to perform assigned tasks. The mission command has become the command philosophy of the German military and recently many countries in the west accept it as a command philosophy. This study compare and analyze the Battle of St. Vincent and the Battle of Jutland to make sure if the army-initiated mission commands were also useful for the navy. From the late 18th century, represented by the era of Nelson, Royal navy changed from the inherited rigid command culture to guaranteeing the disciplined initiative of its subordinate commanders. In the Battle of St. Vincent in 1797, Nelson acted contrary to the commander's orders at the crucial moment, which gave Britain a decisive victory. On the contrary more than 100 years later, the command culture of the Royal navy changed into a centralized command culture. In the Battle of Jutland in 1916, Royal Navy couldn't win because the rigid command culture did not guarantee initiative of subordinate commanders and subordinate commander's passive attitude of waiting for the commander's instructions even at critical moments. Therefore, a mission command that guarantees the initiative of subordinate commanders is a useful concept even in the navy because it makes subordinate commanders to take full advantage of a sudden change in battle. Today's advanced information and communication technologies have raised questions about mission command. But even advanced technology can't completely eliminate the fundamental nature of the war-the fog of war. War is chaotic and unpredictable. In the flood of lots of informations, senior commander's judgement is not always right because he(she) is also human, he(she) can make mistakes. In the age of informatization, mission command is still effective because it involves increasing interaction and synergy between senior and subordinate commanders by ensuring their independence. Therefore ROK navy also needs to activate mission command. ROK navy must dismantle the zero-defect mentality and apply from educations as Prussian did to establish a mission command culture.

Geostationary satellite propulsion system provides satellite with the velocity increment for attitude control operations and sationkeeping operations from satellite launch to de-orbit at the end of life. Today, various types of propulsion system and its thrusters are produced by worldwide manufactures. Therefore, geostationary satellite manufacturers give significant modification to the Mission Analysis Software whenever different type of propulsion system type is adopted. Mission Analysis Software is a tool for planning and verification of satellite mission. For the development of the Generalized Mission Analysis Software, many thrusters are carefully investigated and modeled.

In this paper we carried out a design study for an unmanned Mars missionsuitable for Republic of Korea. The mission will use a KSLV series launch system,which is to place a one tonne payload into the LEO. We calculated the velocityincrements(AV) required for departure from Earth and insertion into the orbitaround Mars based on the mission opportunity data provided by NASA. Two typesof Mars modules - entry type and orbiter type - were considered in this studyWe calculated the mass of TPS(therma1 protection system) for the entry tvpe Marsmodule based on the heat transfer rate and heat load from the Mars atmosphere tothe surface of the TPS. The heat transfer rate and heat load were obtained throughan entry trajectory calculation. For the orbiter type Mars module, we calcuIated themass breakdown of the additional spacecraft which is to insert the Mars moduleinto the orbit around Mars. Other mass items were determined by proportioningfrom the existing Mars modules. This paper finally proposes the payload capacitiesfor each types of Mars modules.

In an environment that operates multiple UAVs, the use of a decentralized task allocation algorithm has more robustness from a single failure of UAV on the mission because there is no central command center. In addition, UAVs have situational awareness and redistribute tasks among themselves, which can expand the mission range. The use of multiple UAVs in a mission has increased as the agent hardware has decreased in size and cost. The decentralized mission-planning algorithm has the advantages of a larger mission range and robustness to a single failure during the mission. This paper extended the type of mission the uses CBBA, which is the most well-known decentralized task allocation algorithm, to the point mission and en-route mission. This will describe the real mission situation that has the purpose of surveillance. A Monte-Carlo simulation was conducted in the case of multiple agents in the task-rich environment, and the global rewards of each case were compared.
