Received 24 September 2014; received in revised form 21 October 2014; accepted 21 October 2014ABSTRACTIt is important to predict and measure the combat effectiveness (CE) of weapons system in bat-tlefield for acquiring efficient weapon system. Moreover, quantitative calculation of weaponeffectiveness under complicated and uncertain battlefield environment is also difficult based onthe future network centric warfare. Many papers used the term of combat effectiveness and triedto study a lot of related issues about it. However, there is no paper dealing with the classifica-tion of study issue about CE and what will happen in this study field. In this paper, we pro-posed how to classify the study issue about CE and forecast future direction of this study field.Conceptually, CE is nothing but the assessment results to measure the ability of a militaryweapon system to accomplish its objective. We believe that it is an appropriate time to reviewthe literature extensively on CE analysis because the research interests and the papers of CE arerapidly growing in these days. This paper reviewed many CE analysis papers, classified themaccording to their research content and the research methodology applied. Additionally, a com-prehensive list of future research areas is also given.Key Words: Combat effectiveness analysis, Measures of effectiveness
