Abstract

To meet the test design demands of complex system-of-systems equipment, the work aims to propose a set of systematic and operable mission-based test design methods, to support the capability verification of the entire equipment system-of-systems. Based on the core philosophy guided by mission scenarios and deliverables, the characteristics and professional terminologies of mission-based test design were defined, and the detailed operational procedures and specification requirements for stepwise decomposition of verification requirements, missions, subtasks, test conditions, assessment criteria and operational scenarios of tested equipment were clarified. To tackle the core difficulties in the identification and decomposition of critical mission scenarios, a key mission scenarios identification method based on the combat loop theory and a mission slicing decomposition method on the basis of Markov property were formulated. On this basis, designers were capable of conducting structured analysis on the mission and subtask processes of system-of-systems equipment, and completing high-quality design of key procedures for mission-based tests. Through nine standardized procedures involving “mission analysis” and “test planning” contained in the mission-based test design method, the structured analysis of mission and subtask scenarios as well as the systematic formulation of test schemes for system-of-systems equipment could be accomplished. The proposed mission-based test design method realizes the transformation from test design inspection based on confidence level to test design evaluation based on mission outcome analysis. It can better satisfy the performance verification requirements of interconnection, intercommunication and interoperability for equipment system-of-systems, and comprehensively evaluate the overall operational capabilities of the system-of-systems equipment.
