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 andor 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 MOEs 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.
